    This document discusses fire fighting on board ships. It begins by defining the three elements required for a fire - ignition source, oxygen, and a flammable substance. It then covers classifications of fires, fire detection systems including hand detectors and automatic detectors, extinguishing materials like water, foam, powder and carbon dioxide. The document also discusses fire protection required by international conventions, sprinkler systems that are automatically triggered by increased temperature, and concludes that well prepared fire fighting systems and regular inspections are important safety measures on ships.

    Introduction
    Fire on board is one of the most dangerous things which
    could happen on a ship, it is caused by combining 3
    elements 1) source of ignition
    2)oxygen
    3)flammable substance
    The most important thing is quick detection by the crew and
    fast response by the fire fighting team to ensure the safety
    of peoples lives, ship and the cargo.

    Classifications of Fire
    In order to successfully put out a fire, you need to use the
    most suitable type of extinguishing agent. The job of
    picking the proper agent has been made easier by the
    classification of fire types, or classes, lettered A through D.

    Fire detection systems

    1)Hand detectors
    2)Automatic detectors
    a)heat detectors
    b)smoke detectors
    c)flame detectors

    Extinguish materals
    1)Water
    2)Foam
    3)Powder
    4)Carbon dioxide

    Water-oldest known fire Foam-extinguish


    extinguisher on the
    flammable liquids by
    planet
    covering the fire and
    blocking any supply
    of oxygen in the air
    Powder-used to
    extinguish fires which
    occur in nearby
    source of electricity

    Carbon dioxide-gas
    which is heavier than
    air and it lowers the
    oxygen percent

    Fire protection on bord

    Ensured by the SOLAS convention, the resolution of


    FSS-code (International Code for fire safety sistem)
    and the resolution of the FTP-code (International Code
    for application fire test procedures)

    Fire fighting on deck

    Sprinkler system

    used to extinguish
    fires in the engine
    room, cargo and
    passengers spaces

    system is
    automatically
    triggered when the
    room temperature
    rises on the specific
    point and the bulb
    breaks
    water is pressurized
    and drops on the
    flames

    Conclusion

    Fire fighting on board is the most important measures


    of precaution in case of any type of fires in any room
    on the ship.
    Systems must be prepared to activate in any time and
    inspected daily.
    There are special conventions on which decisions
    have been made to ensure the best possible
    protection on ships
