Purpose of Fire Fighting Training Manual The first consideration of the Master, Officers and crew members must be the safety of the lives on board and of the avoidance of property loss.

It is well known that the fire consists a very serious risk for all ships and therefore Officers and crew members must be well trained and at every time ready to deal immediately and effectively with the fire.

The main fire safety objectives are to:     

Prevent the occurrence of fire and explosion.

Reduce the risk to life caused by fire.

Reduce the risk of damage caused by fire to the ship, its cargo and the environment.

Contain, control and suppress fire and explosion in the compartment of origin.

Provide adequate and readily accessible means of escape for crew.

In order to attain the highest possible fire safety standards, apart from the adequate and proper equipment and means, precondition is the participation of well-trained crew.

SOLAS/Ch.II-2/Part E/Reg.15.2.3.4 and MSC/Circ.850 recognizing that the training is the most important parameter in the fire protection requires the provision of a training manual in each crew mess room and re-creation room or in each crew cabin.

According to the SOLAS Convention requirements, the training manual shall explain the following in detail: SOLAS Chapter II-2 Reg.15.2.3.4

Training Manual para.

1. General fire safety practices and precautions related to the dangers of smoking, electrical hazards, flammable liquids, cargo handling operations and similar common shipboard hazards.

SECTION 1. THEORY OF FIRE/EXPLOSION

IMO NO.

1.0 GENERAL This section is dealing with fire/explosion theory the knowledge of which is considered useful for seafarers, in order to make them able to take all necessary preventing and fighting measures and above of all to protect their own lives and the ship.

1.1. EVAPORATION Is the process during which a substance or mixture turns from the liquid state into the gaseous state (vapour). This change needs energy consumption. So, for evaporation heat is necessary.

1.2. COMBUSTION Is the reaction of a combustible (inflammable) substance or mixture with oxygen under development of fire and heat. Consequently, it is an exothermic reaction whereby the inflammable substance combines with oxygen and other substances are generated.

The combustion takes place on the interface of the inflammable substance and air, mostly in the form of a flame. For maintaining the combustion a certain relation between inflammable substance and oxygen is required. The quantity of energy or heat, which is set free, varies. To start combustion, the inflammable substance must be ignited. For this purpose a certain temperature is necessary (minimum ignition or combustion temperature) as well as sufficient energy.

The three elements involved (fuel, heat and oxygen) are often shown as the three sides of a triangle. These three components are inter-dependent on each other and therefore if any one of the components is removed combustion cannot take place.

1.3.1 THE FIRE TRIANGLE The fuel for a fire can be in the form of flammable solids, liquids or gases. Liquid fuels burn more intensely than solid fuels because they are more easily vaporised.

The vapour from a liquid fuel is also heavier than air. It is extremely dangerous because it will seek low places, dissipate slowly and travel to distant sources of ignition. Flammable gases are already in the vapour state required for combustion or explosion. All they require for ignition is intermixing with oxygen and a source of heat.

Air contains the oxygen necessary for burning, and ignition heat is present in many forms aboard vessels, including flame, spark, friction and spontaneous or internal combustion.

SECTION 4. GENERAL FIRE PRECAUTIONS

IMO NO.

You can avoid this type of fire by making frequent inspections and replacing wires that are obviously defective, and by using only fuses and circuit breakers of the proper size for their circuits. Crewmen should avoid "jury-rigging" electric outlets or circuits to serve additional appliances, and should avoid overloading electric receptacles.

1. All electrical appliances should be firmly secured and equipped with permanent connections whenever possible.

2. Flexible leads should be as short as practicable and so arranged as to prevent their being chafed or cut in service.

3. Makeshift plugs, sockets and fuses should not be used.

4. Circuits should not be overloaded since this causes the wires to overheat, destroying insulation and thus resulting in a possible short-circuit which could start a fire. Notices should be displayed warning that approval should be obtained from a responsible Officer to connect any personal electrical appliances to the ship’s supply.

5. All portable electrical appliances, lights etc should have insulation readings taken before initial use. If not in use appliances should be disconnected from the supply.

6. Electrical equipment, which is to be used in any cargo area, should be of an approved design (intrinsically safe or explosion proof etc) and be properly maintained.

7. It is important that all fixed electric heaters are fitted with suitable guards securely attached to the heater and that the guards are maintained in position at all times.

Drying clothing on or above the heaters should not be permitted. Suitably designed drying equipment should be supplied, at areas designated.

8. When using drying cabinets or similar appliances, the ventilation openings should not be obstructed by overfilling of the drying space. Any screens or fine mesh Issue No. 01 / Date: 09.05.2014

6.5. FIRE APPROACH Often the direction of approach to a fire is determined by its location and the layout of the vessel. If there are alternative approaches that may be made, then the fire fighters must be aware of the limitations of each.

6.5.1. Fire fighting on the same level This is the preferred route as equipment is easier to handle and access is usually the most convenient.

1.

The pre-arranged team is formed.

Hoses fully charged.

Nozzles at ‘water wall’.

Ready to open door.

Lanyard attached to door if appropriate.

2. Unclips door – hinged side first.

Last door clip to release is the lowest on the opposite side to hinges.

3. In a controlled manner the door is opened sufficiently to allow one ‘water wall’ to seal the opening.

4. The entire team crouch low.

Opens the door.

Both nozzles on ‘water wall’.

5. Try to identify the seat of the fire.

One nozzle set to spray.

The other nozzle on ‘water wall’.

Team ready to advance and fight the fire.

2.5 For the period of time required by SOLAS regulations, the steering gear where it is required to be so supplied by that regulation.

3.0 The emergency source of electrical power may be either a generator or an accumulator battery, which shall comply with the following : i. Driven by suitable prime mover with an independent supply of fuel, having a flashpoint (closed cup test) of not less than 43ºC. ii. Started automatically upon failure of the main source of electrical power supply unless a transitional source of emergency electrical power is provided. Where the emergency generator is automatically started, it shall be automatically connected to the emergency switchboard, those services shall then be connected automatically to the emergency generator, and unless a second independent means of starting the emergency generator is provided the single source of stored energy shall be protected to preclude its complete depletion by the automatic starting system, and iii. Provided with a transitional source of emergency electrical power, unless an emergency generator is provided capable both of supplying the services mentioned in that paragraph and of being automatically started and supplying the required load as quickly as is safe and practicable subject to a maximum of 45 seconds.
