Any fire on board a vessel is a very serious situation. Unless the fire can be quickly put out, there is a risk of it spreading and gaining momentum to very fast becoming a frightening threat to the vessel and the lives of those on board. When a fire situation occurs at sea, there is no fire brigade to call, it is the crew on board who will have the task of fighting the fire, for their own survival and to save the vessel and its cargo. It is therefore important that officers and crew are prepared for a fire situation, that they know the means provided for fire-fighting and are able to act with speed and decision. There are a number of built-in safety features on board a vessel, designed to limit the risk of fire and the spread of it, and the officers and crew must have full knowledge of these and maintain their integrity.
