Captain,

8. 1.Fire:
Controlled fire is used in our
day to day lives for useful
purposes. Only uncontrolled
fire is dangerous which can
cause damage to ship’s crew
and ship. A combination of
three elements (air, fuel and
heat) causes fire to take
place.
Captain,

9.  This can be easily
understood by
looking at the Fire
Triangle:
 If any one of the
element is isolated,
then fire cannot take
place. Fire is
classified depending
on the fuel that
causes fire.
Captain,

10. 2.Fire Prevention:
If total awareness is
created to all personnel
on Fire Prevention, then
there is no need for Fire
Detection, Fire Fighting
etc.,
Remember the old saying
“ Prevention is better
than Cure”
Captain,

11. Prevention of Class A(General) Fire is by:
• good house Keeping
• taking regular rounds of working premises
• use of fire retardant, fire resistant materials while
construction of ships wherever applicable
• keeping working areas under lock & key, when not
in use or manned
• denying entry to unauthorized personnel
Prevention of Class B(Oil) Fire is by:
• Proper storage of oil & petro products
• Properly maintained fuel handling systems
• Properly trained personnel
• Avoiding leakage in the fuel system
• No smoking
• Not using naked lights
• operating fuel systems under supervision
Captain,

12. Prevention of Class C(Electrical) Fire is by:
• Properly maintained Electrical equipment
• Ensuring proper electrical insulation
• Avoiding naked wires
• Using weather proof, explosion proof fittings where
necessary
• Properly trained personnel
• Switching off electrical equipment when not in use
(lights, fans, air conditioners etc.,)
• Avoiding prolonged use or overloading of equipment
Prevention of Class D(Chemical) Fire is by:
• Understanding the characteristics of the chemicals
and accordingly standard operating procedures
must be implemented for the personnel handling
these chemicals
Captain,

13. 3.Fire Detection:
•Manual detection
•Automatic detection (conventional or analog
addressable)
Manual detection is by:
•regular rounds by duty personnel during
working and non working hours
•alert and competent ships crew
•observing the running machinery for abnormal
noise, abnormal vibration, abnormal working
temperatures etc.,
•CCTV – central monitoring through Closed
Circuit TV
Captain,

14. Captain

15. 4.Fire-Fighting:
•Fire can be easily extinguished if minimum one element
is isolated (fuel or heat or air).
•Removal of fuel from fire is called Starving
•Removal of heat from fire is called Cooling
•Removal of air from fire is called Smothering
Early stages of fire can be extinguished by Portable
Fire Extinguishers available as per fireplan of
the ships:
•Water type extinguishers – for Class A (General) fire
•Foam type extinguishers – for Class B (Oil) fire
•CO₂extinguishers – for Class C (Electrical) fire
•DCP (Dry Chemical Powder) extinguishers – for Class
A,B,C fires

3) CO₂ Flooding

ship’s installation)
Captain

19. Try to advise the
following:
Give the Alarm
Shouting "Fire! Fire! Fire in the (fill in
the blank with the location of the
fire)!” should be the first words you
utter when you find a fire aboard.
This will alert any other persons in
the area and begin the process of
alerting the vessel's crew and
captain. It is essential that the
location of the fire be passed along
as well.
You must pass the word that there's
a fire. Putting the fire out is not the
most important thing, if something
happens and you become a casualty
before passing the word. This risks
both the vessel and crew, when
giving the alarm brings the whole of
the vessel's firefighting resources to
bear. Without the alarm, the fire
continues, perhaps growing until it's
out of control, and then the vessel is
lost.
Captain

20. • Don't Feed the Fire
• Don't give fire the air it needs to
burn. Shut down air-conditioning and
ventilation systems. Both act like a
bellows, pumping air into the fire.
Remember that fire requires fuel,
heat and air to exist; remove any
one of the three, and the fire dies.
• Upon receiving the alarm and the fire
location, the person in charge of the
vessel should turn the vessel to
minimize the effects of wind feeding
the fire and the effects of smoke.
Smoke will decrease visibility and
hamper firefighting efforts, so you
should turn the vessel so that smoke
blows off the vessel, rather than over
it.
Captain

21.  On receiving the word of a fire and its
location the Bridge Command rises
the Ship’s Fire Alarm (and PA system
if applicable)
 Communication with the Emergency
Team leader established.
 Mustering-Ship’s Crew Roll Call.
Emergency Team Leader co-
ordinates actions with Support Team-
Engine Support Team-First Aid Team
and report actions/results to Bridge
Control.
 Bridge Control Team initiates
incident plotting and notify
authorities, MRCC, vessel’s in
vicinity, following PAN procedures
via all means of communication.
 Emergency Team Leader immobilize
the Emergency Squat and test their
equipment/tools, reporting all
information about the fire-fighting
team to bridge control.Captain

22. • Support Team & Engine Support Team:
1. Closing of watertight doors, fire doors, valves, skylights, portholes, dampers
and other similar openings in the ship,
2. Isolates AC, ventilation, power, fuel oil valves, start emergency fire pump and
/or emergency generator (as needed).
3. Setting-up fire hoses, commence boundary cooling and/or open hydrants to
flood horizontal surfaces to the surroundings of the fire.
4. Monitor access routes & actions, with priority to provide support to Emergency
Team.
5. Leaders of both teams keep open communication with Bridge Command and
Emergency Team.
6. Engine Support Team leader (Chief Engineer) steady-by in case of CO2
release.
Captain

23. 1. Emergency Team leader (Chief Mate) keep sending incident details to Bridge
Command.
2. Master have to alter vessel’s course in a way to aid the firefighting progress.
3. Firefighters dressed in full PPE&BA making the push to the scene of fire.
4. Emergency Team leader and Bridge Command follow closely the progress of
firefighters, paying particulars attention to withdraw the fire team well before
the BA expected to be empty.
5. Fire Team entering the Fire Zone and attempt rescue (if there is a casualty).
6. The firefighting progress continued till time of extinguished the fire or
decision taken for drenching or flooding.
Captain

24. 1. First-Aid Team leader keeps his team close to the scene of fire and in a
safe distance, without obstruct the whole operation.
2. Extra air bottles to refill BA must be ready at all times.
