A fire starts on your vessel while refueling. Which action should you take FIRST?
• Immediate actions in a fuel fire/emergency • The fire triangle: fuel, heat, oxygen • Basic sequence of actions: remove source, raise alarm, fight fire, report
• In a refueling fire, what is the most critical thing that can quickly make the fire much worse if it is not controlled immediately? • Which option directly affects the source of the fire, and which options deal with later emergency response steps? • Think about what you must do before any fire-fighting efforts can be truly effective or safe.
• Identify which choice best reduces or removes the fuel source involved in the fire • Decide which actions can safely come after the immediate control of the hazard • Ensure the first action does not delay critical seconds while the fire is still being fed by fuel or air
