🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of fixed fire extinguishing systems on board vessels • Difference between controlling a fire and extinguishing a fire • How automatic sprinklers interact with heat, flames, smoke, and alarms

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What do sprinklers actually do first when a fire starts – do they remove all fire, or reduce its intensity and spread? • Think about a real shipboard fire: how would sprinklers help keep escape routes usable and prevent the fire from growing? • Consider which other shipboard systems are normally responsible for detection and alarm rather than water discharge.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the main job of sprinklers is control of fire growth and heat or instant extinguishment. • Separate in your mind which system’s primary role is to warn/alert the crew versus to apply water. • Eliminate any option that describes something sprinklers may do indirectly, and focus on the function they are designed and rated to perform.
