2.2. Fire protection and control
The most common fire sources are the engine and the stove. If there is a fire in your boat, it may result in
an explosion.
Fire usually spreads very fast - be quick to extinguish the fire.
Fire should be put down by extinguishing, that is, depriving the fire of oxygen. Using water in fuel-based
fires does not help.
WARNING
If the fire reaches the fuel containers, an explosion may occur and cause a large
area around the boat to burn.
• Keep the bilge clean and check it regularly for fuel and gas fumes or fuel
and oil leaks.
• Do not hang curtains or other flammable material near or above the LPG
cooker or other equipment with naked flames.
• Never leave the boat unattended when the cooker or heater is switched
on.
• Never refuel or replace gas containers when the engines are running.
• Never smoke when handling fuel or gas.
• Never block evacuation routes or emergency exits.
• Never block access to safety equipment such as fuel valves or main
power switches.
• Never block access to fire extinguishers, visible or concealed.
• Never modify the boat’s systems (especially electrical, fuel or gas
systems).
In case of fire, use the fire extinguisher on your boat. The exact location can be
found in the safety diagram .
If the fire starts to get out of control, leave the burning boat to save lives.
