IRE
Fire is a serious boating hazard. Boats will burn
quickly. Do not remain on board and fight a fire for
more than a few minutes. If the fire cannot be
extinguished within a few minutes, abandon the
boat.
Have fire extinguishers handy. A small fire can be
extinguished quickly with the right size and type of
fire extinguisher.
•
Extinguish smoking materials, shut off blowers,
stoves, engines and generators.
•
Throw burning materials overboard, if possible.
•
If the fire is accessible, empty the contents of
fire extinguishers at the base of the fire.
•
If the fire is in the engine compartment and you
have an automatic extinguisher for the engine,
wait 15 minutes before opening the
compartment. Have a portable extinguisher
ready in case the fire flares up.
•
Signal for help.
•
Grab distress signals and survival gear. Put on
PFDs. Prepare to abandon ship.

BOARD
•
Try to reach the victim with a pole, or by throwing
a life preserver. Do not swim to rescue the
victim, except as a last resort.
•
Assist the person in boarding the boat. The
person should normally be brought in over the
stern.
•
If the person is injured or cannot get into the
boat, a rescuer should put on a PFD with a
safety line attached to the boat and enter the
water to assist the victim.
•
Handle the victim with care. Spinal injuries may
have occurred.

•
Account for all who were on board.
•
If the boat is floating stay with the boat. Hang
on, or climb on the boat and signal for help.

Only as a last resort should you attempt to swim
to shore - it is further away than it looks and you
can tire and drown.

EAKING
In the event of collision and leaking:

unless maintaining speed will keep the hole
above water.

Operate the manual bilge pump if the powered
bilge pumps can’t handle the water flow.
•
Account for everyone on board and check for
injurys.
•
Have everyone put on PFDs.
•
Stay with the boat.
•
Signal for help.
•
If a leak patch is attempted, it should be done
from the outside.
•
In the event of a collision, you are required to
file an accident repor t. Contact a state
enforcement agency or the nearest Coast Guard
office. If you are boating outside of U.S. waters,
consult the nation you are visiting for accident
reporting requirements.
