FIGHT AGAINST FIRE

It is the owner's or the skipper's responsibility:
- To have the extinguishers checked in pursuance of the instructions given.
- Use extinguisher replacements with equivalent features (same capacity and fire
resistance) if the ones in place are out of date or have been used.
- To tell the crew:
- where the extinguishers are and how they work,
- where the emergency exits are.
- Make sure the extinguishers can be reached easily when people are on board.
- Make sure that the ventilation openings in the engine (and generator, if installed)
compartment are well cleared.
Keep the bilge clean. Regularly check that there is no fuel or gas vapour.
Do not store combustible materials in the engine compartment.
If non-combustible materials are stored in the engine compartment they must be secured
so there is no danger of them falling on machinery and they do not obstruct access to and
from the compartment.
Always fasten the curtains open when the gas cooker is working.
Exits other than the doors and hatches of the main companionway, equipped with
permanently fitted ladders, are identified with a symbol.
- Keep an extinguisher handy in case the fire should start again.
- Fire fighting equipment (portable extinguishers, fire blankets and
buckets) must be permanently and immediately accessible.
