4.2.2 Fire

There are some precautionary measures that can eliminate the risk of fires.
Periodically check the electric and fuel systems. Special attention must be
paid during the refuelling procedure to reduce the risk of fire.
DANGER
Tanks must never be stowed in compartments or peaks equipped with
electrical systems.
NOTE
Do not keep inflammable materials on board. The spare fuel tanks must be
stowed properly.
Small fires or electrical fires - which do not affect inflammable liquids - can
be extinguished with a suitable fire extinguisher.
When the fuel system or inflammable liquids are involved, the probability of
an explosion is higher.
Before abandoning the boat, make sure all passengers are wearing life
jackets. If possible, report the emergency to the nearest Maritime rescue
centre and state your position before abandoning the boat.
Try to leave RAPIDLY the boat and keep a considerable distance.
The ignited fuel can drop over the sea.
For the same reason, the distress signals must be used at sufficient
distance to avoid explosions.
CAUTION
Always pay attention to fire hazards.
