🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire triangle (fuel, heat, oxygen) and how to break it • Basic engine-room fire procedures on small vessels • Risks of using a fixed CO2 system while crew may still be inside

💭 Think About

• Which option directly and immediately reduces the fire’s ability to continue burning without putting crew at extra risk? • In what order do you normally isolate a machinery-space fire: fuel, air, people, extinguishing agent, abandoning ship? • Which choices are actions you might take later rather than as the very first step?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which action removes or stops the fuel source to the fire • Check which option requires the engine room to be completely evacuated and sealed before doing it • Ask whether it is appropriate to abandon ship or launch liferafts at this early stage of an engine-room fire
