ALVES
The first thing to do if there is a fuel fire or leak is stop engines and close fuel
shut-off valves by turning them perpendicular to the hose. They are located over
the fuel tanks under the pilothouse seats. If there is fuel in the bilges, close
valves, find the source of the leak and then clean bilges.

UPPRESSION
An automatic, heat-activated, fire suppression system is installed in the engine
compartment. It can be activated manually at the helm station. To prevent the
engines from evacuating the fire suppression agent when it discharges, the
system will shut off engines, blowers and generator. Override the shutdown
feature to restart the engine after repair. Refer to the manual for maintenance
instruction. (See page
12 and refer to the manual in the binders.)
Hand-held fire extinguishers (see Emergency Diagram page 5 for locations) are
rated to fight type A, B & C fires. To extinguish a fire, first cut the source of fuel
to the fire. In a diesel fuel fire, turn off the fuel tank valves. In an electrical fire, turn
off the
HOUSE BATTERY
switch.
Fire safety begins with prevention. Reduce fire risk with these guidelines:
•
Don’t allow debris or oily rags to collect anywhere.
•
Check bilges for oil or diesel fuel regularly.
• Shut down unnecessary circuits when leaving the boat.
• Don’t leave heat-producing appliances or equipment unattended.
•
Inspect fire suppression equipment regularly and learn how to use it.
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide. It’s colorless, odorless and
lethal. Avoid inhaling. Inspect the exhaust system regularly. Idling engines at a
mooring or at a dock isn’t good for the engine and may allow gasses to
accumulate in the cockpit or cabin.
Don’t work on any mechanical or electrical equipment unless you’re
qualified. Electrical current and moving parts are dangerous and can be lethal.

Fire needs oxygen to burn, so if a fire
should occur in an enclosed area, the
best course of action may be to exit the
area and seal it from the outside by
closing means of air intake.
