The time to think about emergencies is before they happen. Plan ahead. Know what to do
before you encounter any of these situations. Wear a PFD when boating.
Danger of explosion/fire/asphyxiation:
Liquid fuel can light on fire and cause severe burns.
Use the fuel according to the type of the machine.
Danger of fire/asphyxiation – manipulate with flames or high temperatures with caution
especially near any foam (if it is on your boat). Foam could get on fire from burning,
welding, lighting, cigarettes, heaters etc. Once it caughts fire it burns very quickly, creates
high temperature, dangerous emissions and consumes lot of oxygen.

EXPLOSION

In case of possible explosion, immediately put on your PFD, grab distress signalization
and abandon the ship.

FIRE

If you have access to fire, direct contents of extinguishers at base of flames, not at the top.
