Highly flammable materials are found throughout tow vessels and could cause a fire. This training video presents a solid overview of the fire hazards onboard a ship, the required fire detection systems, internal communication systems that are vital when responding to fire emergencies, and the fire prevention and response systems tow vessels must have. Fire prevention techniques, classes of fire, portable fire extinguishers, fixed suppression systems, extinguishing agents such as foam, dry chemicals and water, and their use are discussed. Fire drills and fire prevention training requirements and their frequency are reviewed. The video concludes with a quiz to ensure viewers understand and retain the key points.
