A: The principle of ship fire prevention:

No matter where the crew finds open flames or smoke, they should immediately put out the fire with fire-fighting equipment and equipment near the scene. At the same time, sound the nearest fire alarm, shout loudly and give an alarm to the bridge and crew.

IMO International Maritime Organization stipulates in SOLAS Convention that each fire drill shall include:

1. Call the crew to the fire station;

2. Report to the fire station and prepare to perform the duties in the emergency plan;

3. Wear fireman's equipment;

4. Operate fire doors and fire dampers;

5. Operate the fire pump and fire extinguishing equipment;

6. Operate communication equipment, emergency signals and general alarms;

7. Operate the fire detection system;

8. If necessary, teach fire fighting equipment and sprinkler system on board.

Engine room fire drill procedure

The captain is the commander in chief of the fire drill.

The chief engineer is the on-site commander of the engine room fire drill.

1. Alert:

1. 1 The chief fire commander (captain) sounded the engine room fire alarm on the bridge, that is, after the short tone was played for one minute, it was four minutes long.

The sound or cable broadcast on the ship directly transmits the information of the specific part of the engine room where the fire broke out to the crew.

2. Action after hearing the engine room fire:

2. 1 The commander-in-chief and on-site commander enter their posts with walkie-talkies (set on fixed channels).

2.2 All crew members should be dressed neatly (including: wearing safety helmet, gloves, uniform work clothes, work shoes, tying towels around their necks, carrying personal fire-fighting equipment, tools, oxygen detectors, stretchers, medical boxes, onshore connectors, etc.). ), shout that the engine room is on fire while running, and arrive at the assembly point within two minutes after the alarm stops (each ship is selected according to the characteristics of the ship.

2.3 Upon the arrival of all personnel, the on-site commander ordered the implementation of the tasks compiled according to the engine room fire (including: closing the skylight, chimney door, ventilation pipe, shutter, fire door and engine room door), and the firefighters ran to complete the tasks according to their duties. After completing the task, they immediately ran back to the assembly point and reported the task to the on-site commander loudly and clearly. (The shore connection installation is only applicable to ships during berthing).

2.4 The two fire detectors in the engine room should wear firemen's equipment and stand by within 3 minutes.

2.5 Hose management personnel connect hoses (2 hoses) and make preparations.

2.6 emergency fire pump management personnel should start the emergency pump or fire pump within 3 minutes, and PiLong will be discharged.

2.7 The second mate is responsible for the internal and external communication and records of the bridge (such as driving and lookout).

2.8 The third mate (if the third mate is not on board at the time of mooring, he can be replaced by other drivers in case of fire) enters the control station of large fire extinguishing system. If there is no communication system in the station, he should bring an intercom (set on a fixed channel). There is no emergency lighting in the station, so a flashlight should be equipped in the station and placed in a fixed position at the entrance of the station. When in place, prepare to release, and report to the commander in chief for instructions.

3. Fire detection operation:

3. 1 It is best to adjust the respirator before the fire detector enters the fire.

3.2 When the fire source in the engine room is unknown and the smoke is heavy, the commander-in-chief sends a fire detection order to the on-site commander.

3.3 The on-site commander ordered the fire detector to detect the fire. One fire detector entered the engine room and the other was waiting for the order.

3.4 There are two ways for fire detectors to enter the engine room, namely the engine room entrance and the escape hole. The fire detector enters the engine room with a safety light and an insulating axe. The protector tied the other end of the fire detector fire-resistant rescue rope to the railing near the engine room entrance. If the fire-resistant rescue rope is not long enough, 2-3 pieces can be butted. The contact signal between the fire detector and the protection personnel is: the fire detector pulls the rope to indicate the need to continue to loosen the rope; Pull the rope twice to indicate that the fire detector has arrived at the fire scene; Pull the rope three times to indicate that the fire detector is evacuated from the scene; Pulling the rope more than four times indicates that you need help.

3.5 After the fire detector enters the engine room, a group of personnel in charge of Pilong water gun aim the water gun at the engine room door at the entrance, ready to spray.

3.6 If the fire detector finds that the fire is small, immediately put out the fire with a fire extinguisher near the fire; If there is a fire caused by oil pipe damage, the fire detector will close the oil pipe first and then put out the fire; If the circuit is on fire, the fire detector should cut off the power supply before extinguishing the fire. When the fire extinguisher cannot put out the fire, the fire detector will evacuate the engine room immediately.

3.7 After the fire detector is evacuated, immediately report the fire location, fire, fire type and fire extinguishing situation to the on-site commander.

4. Preparations before the start of large-scale fire extinguishing system:

4. 1 The on-site commander shall report the fire location, fire, fire type and fire extinguishing situation of the engine room to the commander-in-chief (assuming that the fire is too large to be extinguished, it is suggested that the commander-in-chief deploy a large fire extinguishing system).

4.2 The commander-in-chief ordered the on-site commander and the third mate to prepare to cast a large fire extinguishing system; The telephone ordered the personnel in the engine room to evacuate the engine room, and informed the on-site commander to make a good response.

4.3 After receiving the evacuation order, the engine room personnel should put on EEBD and leave the engine room with the Engine Log (according to the fire location and fire size, the engine room evacuation personnel can choose to evacuate from the engine room door or escape hole).

4.4 After the cabin personnel are evacuated, the on-site commander orders to close the quick-closing valve and fan, cut off the power supply and start the emergency generator. Re-check whether the skylight, chimney door, ventilation duct, shutter, fire door and engine room door are closed properly. According to the emergency deployment table, the responsible personnel should run separately, carry out the orders given by the on-site commander, report the task completion to the on-site commander after inspection, and enter the team.

4.5 After the on-site commander checks the number by name, report to the commander-in-chief that all the personnel are here, and a large fire extinguishing system can be cast.

5.Cast large fire extinguishing system:

5. 1 The commander-in-chief ordered the third officer to deploy the large-scale fire extinguishing system, and the third officer repeated, "Start deploying". Then operate and release according to the engine room fire extinguishing release procedure.

5.2 After throwing the ship, the third mate shall immediately report to the commander in chief; Casting completed, normal.

6. Other actions taken:

6. 1 The commander-in-chief ordered the field commander to check the doors and windows again to prevent leakage and ensure the fire extinguishing effect.

6.2 The on-site headquarters ordered relevant personnel to carry out inspection.

6.3 Relevant personnel shall carefully check the doors and windows to ensure no leakage, and then report to the site commander.

6.4 The on-site commander shall report to the commander in chief, and there shall be no leakage.

6.5 The commander-in-chief ordered the on-site commander to check the temperature of the engine room bulkhead, the living room floor, the storage room and the cargo compartment wall connecting the engine room, and continuously patrol. If the temperature of the above parts increases obviously, use fire hose to spray water to cool down and prevent the fire from spreading.

6.6 The on-site commander ordered the relevant firefighters to conduct temperature inspection and patrol on the bulkhead of the engine room, the living room, storage room and the connecting wall between the cargo hold and the engine room, and report any abnormality immediately.

7. Explore fire again:

7. 1 large fire extinguishing system put into operation for 4 hours. After continuous inspection, the temperature of handles in engine room bulkhead, living room, storage room, connecting wall between cargo hold and engine room, floor and so on decreased obviously. The large-scale fire extinguishing system played a fire extinguishing role, and the captain ordered the on-site commander to conduct fire detection again.

7.2 The on-site commander ordered the fire detector to enter the engine room for fire detection.

7.3 The fire detector shall check all corners of the engine room. If there is any residual fire, it can be completely put out with a fire extinguisher. After the inspection, evacuate the engine room and report to the on-site commander that the fire has been put out.

7.4 The on-site commander shall report to the commander-in-chief that the fire has been put out after discovering the fire.

7.5 The commander-in-chief ordered the engine room fire doors, skylights and vent baffles to be opened for natural ventilation.

7.6 When smoke can't be seen by naked eyes in the engine room, command the fire detector to take an oxygen detector to detect the oxygen content in the engine room.

7.7 The fire detector enters the engine room to test the oxygen content. After the measurement, he left the engine room and reported to the field commander that the oxygen content was normal.

7.7 The on-site commander shall report to the commander-in-chief that the oxygen content is normal.

7.8 The commander-in-chief ordered the on-site commander to turn on the mechanical ventilation, close the quick-closing valve and send firefighters to clean up the site.

7.9 The on-site commander ordered the electrician and the three-tube wheel to open the mechanical ventilation and close the quick-closing valve; Firefighters entered the engine room to clean up the scene.

7. 10 site cleaning ended. The crew lined up at the exercise assembly point, and the on-site commander summarized the engine room fire drill, praised the outstanding personnel, and pointed out the shortcomings so as to correct them.

7. 1 1 The commander-in-chief sounded the engine room fire drill end alarm (long sound).
