Fire-Fighting

Content Provider	Scilit
Copyright Year	2018
Description	Many ships have now adopted fire control stations, the number of stations depending on the size of the vessel and are usually based at an operational control room. The control station is usually equipped with fire-fighting plans and communications to activate water sprinklers, drenching systems and total flood systems for protected spaces. Generally all major fires originate from either a smaller fire or an explosion. It is unlikely that fires within the accommodation will be caused by an explosion; consequently, speedy and efficient action to deal with the smaller fire will often prevent the larger, more crippling fire developing. The containment and subsequent extinguishing of small fires will depend on three main factors. They are: Location and type of fire; Number and availability of extinguishing agents; and Quick thinking and training of fire-fighters. The successful extinguishing of a galley fire will be more readily achieved if the location and method of using the available extinguishing agents are known beforehand.
