🚨 CO₂ FIXED FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM The System You Hope You Never Need Fixed CO₂ systems flood protected spaces (engine room, purifier room, cargo pump room) with carbon dioxide to rapidly reduce oxygen and extinguish fires. Before release: ⚠️ Confirm portable equipment cannot control the fire. ⚠️ Stop all machinery and ventilation. ⚠️ Ensure 100% evacuation and account for all crew. ⚠️ Close all doors, dampers, and vents. ⚠️ Raise the emergency alarm and inform the bridge. Key Facts: ❌ CO₂ does not cool. ✅ It extinguishes by reducing oxygen, making it fatal for anyone inside. Accidental release is potentially fatal. Inspection Checklist: ✅ Cylinders secured; pressure and quantity within limits. ✅ Release cabinet sealed and accessible. ✅ Pull cables and pilot cylinders operational. ✅ Warning signs visible. ✅ Time-delay alarm and ventilation shutdown functional. ✅ Release instructions posted. PSC & Class Inspector Questions: ✔️ Who is authorized to release CO₂? ✔️ How do you confirm evacuation? ✔️ How is the system tested? ✔️ Which spaces are protected? ✔️ What happens after release? Inability to answer confidently may result in deficiencies. 🔥 Remember: A CO₂ system saves engine rooms only if crew understand exactly how and when to use it. Knowledge saves lives. ⚓ SeaFormat – Built for Life at Sea.
