How many types of fire extinguishers are typically equipped on the CRJ 200?

The correct answer is that typically, the CRJ 200 is equipped with two types of fire extinguishers. This configuration provides a balance between functionality and safety for dealing with potential fire scenarios that may arise during ground operations or in-flight emergencies.

One type of fire extinguisher is generally a Halon 1211 extinguisher, which is effective for flammable liquid and electrical fires. The second type may be a water extinguisher or another suitable option, designed for different fire classifications.

Having two distinct types allows crew members to address a wider range of fire hazards effectively. The presence of multiple types of extinguishers also enhances the safety protocols established for the aircraft, ensuring that there are available options regardless of the nature of the fire. This strategy ensures compliance with regulations and enhances overall passenger and crew safety.
