A sprinkled system is normally used to protect the
According to SOLAS the breathing air apparatus that must be onboard
shall have sufficient capacity for how many minutes of operation?
Can National Marine Authorities and Classification Societies require
additions to the SOLAS requirements?
CO2 is especially suitable for fighting one or more of the fire
categories, which category?
Do we call it suffocating the fire when we remove the oxygen from
the fire?
Do the Muster list and the Emergency Instructions contain
information relevant only to the deck officers?
Does there have to be oxygen present to light a flammable gas?
Emergency compressed air breathing escape sets onboard, shall have a
duration of service no less then:
For the most products the fire will die out when the oxygen content is
reduced to?
How do we normally remove the heat from a Class A fire?
In older for there to be a fire, there has to be an unbroken chain
reaction between three components. One of the components is the
combustion material.
What do you think are the two other components that have to be
presenting in older to start fire?
Is this statement true or false?
Always attempt to extinguish a fire before sounding the alarm.
It is important to get familiarised with the emergency exits on board
the vessel, at what time should this be done?
The temperature at which a product will give sufficient vapour that
can be ignited is known as the .point of the material.
What do you do if you detect fire?
What does heat radiation mean?
What fire extinguisher is most suitable for putting out fires in metal?
What information can you find on the fire control plan?
What kind of work is hot work?
What type of fire detectors is the first to go of in case of a fire?
Where can you find an overview of where the powder extinguishers
are located?.

the extinguishers?

The temperature at which a product will give sufficient vapour that can be ignited and will continue to support combustion after the
application of an outside source of ignition is know as the ignition point of the material.
A hydrocarbon gas mixture and air cannot be ignited and burned unless its composition lies within a range of gas-in-air concentrations,
know as the flammable range.
Flash point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid give off sufficient gas to form a flammable gas mixture near the surface of the
liquid.
Halon is listed as a CFC gas, as of January 1st 1994 halon system is not installed onboard new ships.
