Please attend that after discharging of the fire extinguishers the
extinguishing agent is in the air. Please ventilate the engine room
first before you enter them.
Please complete the equipment with an additional fire blanket in the nearest range of the stove.
Fire blankets are very effective to put out burning grease.
The extinguishers have to be checked regularly. Please observe
the check periods. Make sure that they are ready to work.
Extinguishers with outdated check period or used extinguishers must be replaced by
extinguishers with the same rate and with the same or higher capacity. If parts of the fire-
extinguishing system are replaced, only use appropriate components that have the same sign or
are equal in terms of their technical and fire-retarding properties.

extinguishing equipment on the yacht. You should additionally include alternative possibilities to
extinguish fires such as water buckets, fire blankets etc.

Active fire fighting
Each fire is danger for you, the crew and the boat. All persons on
board must start fighting the fire with all means and without
hesitation immediately after the alarm.
All persons who cannot actively engage in fire fighting should go above deck using the escape
hatches and put on their personal life jackets. The burning compartments have to be separated
from the atmosphere as much as possible by closing the relevant appliances.
