Fire fighting
If, despite all precautions, a fire should break out on board, you should do the
following:
All persons who cannot actively participate in fighting the fire should go on
deck through the companion way, or if the fire broke out in the pantry or
engine room, through the escape hatch above the fore berths.
In case of a fire in the pantry:
First close the gas valve!
Next, smother the flames with the fire retarding cloth. It can be used again
after this. If the fire has reached parts of the furniture, use the fire
extinguishers.
In case of fire in the engine room:
Engine room is self protected by ampoule.
In case of fire in the living cabin:
The fire retarding cloth can be effective in this case too. A draw bucket should
be ready at hand in the locker seat of the cockpit. Use the fire extinguishers
only in case of emergency.
