🔍 Key Concepts

• fixed and portable CO₂ systems and how they extinguish fires • dangers of re‑ignition after a fire appears out • hazards of CO₂ to personnel in an enclosed space and need for controlled re‑entry

💭 Think About

• After a fire is knocked down with CO₂, what is your immediate priority for safety of the ship and crew? • Do you want to remove CO₂ from the space right away, or keep the smothering effect in place while you monitor the area? • What additional backup firefighting measure should be ready in case the fire flares up again?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option involves being prepared for re‑ignition without disturbing the CO₂ blanket too soon. • Check which choice might create a new hazard to personnel by rushing into a CO₂‑filled space. • Eliminate any option that wastes extinguishing agent or removes it before you are sure the fire is completely out.
