Cosa tratta questo video

Three 2-kilogram fire extinguishers aboard Britican — one in the forward cabin, one in the galley, one in the aft cabin — form the core of the boat's fire suppression setup.0:08 A fire blanket and smoke detector are also mounted in the galley.0:16 The engine compartment holds an automatic fire suppression unit that triggers without crew intervention, paired with vent closures to cut oxygen supply and a dedicated nozzle port for manual extinguisher top-up.0:23 Simon stresses never opening the engine compartment door during a fire, as doing so feeds oxygen to the blaze.0:45 All extinguishers are serviced annually; smoke detector batteries are replaced on the same schedule.1:17 The crew procedure for a non-engine fire: the first person to spot it shouts "fire" three times and attacks the base of the flames, the second transmits a DSC alert and Mayday, and additional crew either fight the fire or prepare to abandon ship if it becomes uncontrollable.1:39 An engine-room fire that the suppression unit extinguishes triggers a separate loss-of-engine procedure.2:29 Automatic engine-bay suppression combined with strict no-open-door discipline gives the best chance of containing a fire before it spreads.
