🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire triangle (fuel, heat, oxygen) and which element you can most quickly remove in a fuel line rupture • Sequence of actions in engine room firefighting vs. last-resort fixed CO₂ release • Hazards of leaving a pressurized fuel oil leak burning or spraying while you do other actions

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In a spraying fuel oil fire, what is continuing to make the fire grow, and what can you control first from the engine room control station or locally? • Which actions are irreversible or major last-resort steps, and which are immediate control measures that should come before abandoning or sealing the space? • Would small hand extinguishers be effective if the main source of fuel is still under pressure and leaking?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly affects the source of fuel for the fire, not just the flames • Consider which step, if taken too early, might trap personnel or commit you to flooding the space with CO₂ • Verify standard practice: control/stop fuel and ventilation before considering fixed gas systems or full evacuation, when safe to do so
