🔍 Key Concepts

• CO₂ fixed fire extinguishing systems remove oxygen from an enclosed space • How hot gases and smoke behave in an engine room (they rise and collect high up) • Why SCBAs (self-contained breathing apparatus) are critical when reentering a space filled with CO₂ and combustion products

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the air quality and oxygen level inside an engine room after CO₂ has been released and the space has been sealed • Consider whether it is safer to enter from a low point or a high point when there may still be hot gases and smoke present • Ask yourself how long it may take for heat, CO₂ concentration, and toxic gases to reduce to a level where an entry team, even with protection, can begin an investigation

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which access point height (highest vs lowest) minimizes initial exposure to residual heat and smoke layers • Confirm that SCBAs would still be required even if you believe the fire is out and time has passed • Consider typical guidance on minimum waiting time after CO₂ discharge before opening up and sending in a team for inspection
