🔍 Key Concepts

• Principle of containment in shipboard firefighting (control smoke and oxygen) • Sequence of actions after discovering a fire: alarm, contain, then attack • Risks of immediate use of CO₂ systems and entering smoke without full assessment

💭 Think About

• After sounding the alarm, what is the fastest action you can take to limit the spread of heat and smoke into the rest of the vessel? • Which actions require you to already have more information about the size and exact location of the fire before you do them safely? • Which choice reduces oxygen supply and spread of smoke without placing you in a high‑risk position or committing you to a specific firefighting method too early?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option best supports confining the fire before active firefighting begins • Consider which actions should only be taken by an organized fire party with command and communication established • Ask which option you can do immediately and safely from your current position without extra equipment or detailed size‑up
