REMEMBER FIRE DANGER ALWAYS.
Fire may be caused by:
Crew nagligence when smoking, the presence aboard of flammable liquids, electrical contacts, propulsion motor, errors in fueling, or if maintenance
has not been performed as required.
Once again, it is important that the crew behave correctly and that the boat is kept in order to avoid serious damage to it and to persons.
Howevwr, if a fire does occure aboard, stop motor, disconnect the batteries immediatly, check to see if it is an electrical component or any
case a small-scale fire that does not involve flammable liquids, in which case use a suitable fire extinguisher to try and put the fire out completely.
Easly flammable products must not be kept aboard.
BATTERY: the battery may cause sparks op explosions. It must be stored in an appropriate
container, easly reached and well aired, AWAY FROM FUEL OR INFLAMMABLE PRODUCTS.
Periodically check that the clips are tight and protect them with appropriate insulation in order
to prevent sparks or the spread of current.
Extinguisher or any other fire-fighting equipment must not be kept in compartments with key
lock, but in easily accessible and clearly indicated locations.
Extinguisher or any other fire-fighting equipment should be checked periodically and replaced with
the same or superior types
if expired or inefficient.
Equip the boat with fire-fighting equipment before launch and use.
