🔍 Key Concepts

• Boiler furnace and casing fires – where they occur and how they are usually controlled • Class B (flammable liquid) fires – what methods are effective and which can spread the fire • Effect of fuel supply, air supply, and water on a boiler that is already steaming

💭 Think About

• Which action directly removes the source of the burning material in this situation? • What could happen if you increase air (draft) to an existing oil fire inside boiler casing? • Would adding water into or around a hot boiler casing containing burning oil likely control or spread the fire?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices would feed the fire (more fuel, more air) versus remove its source • Consider how water behaves on burning oil on very hot metal surfaces • Remember standard shipboard procedure for a suspected furnace or casing oil fire in a steaming boiler
