Fire prevention and fire-fighting

1 — The basic training in fire prevention and fire-fighting required by section A-VI/2 should include at least the theoretical and practical elements itemized in paragraphs 2 to 4 hereunder.

Theoretical training

2 — The theoretical training should cover:

1) The three elements of fire and explosion (the fire triangle), fuel; source of ignition; oxygen;

2) Ignition sources: chemical; biological; physical;

3) Flammable materials: flammability; ignition point; burning temperature; burning speed; thermal value; lower flammable limit (LFL); upper flammable limit (UFL); flammable range; inerting; static electricity; flashpoint; auto-ignition;

4) Fire hazard and spread of fire by radiation, convection, and conduction;

5) Reactivity;

6) Classification of fires and applicable extinguishing agents;

7) Main causes of fire on board ships: oil leakage in engine-room; cigarettes; overheating (bearings); galley appliances (stoves, flues, fryers, hotplates, etc.); spontaneous ignition (cargo, wastes, etc.); hot work (welding, cutting, etc.); electrical apparatus (short circuit, nonprofessional repairs); reaction, self-heating and autoig-nition; arson; static electricity;

8) Fire prevention;

9) Fire and smoke detection systems; automatic fire alarms;

10) Fire-fighting equipment including:

10.1) Fixed installations on board and their locations; fire mains, hydrants; international shore connection; smothering installations, carbon dioxide (C02), foam; halogenated hydrocarbons; pressure water spray system in special category spaces, etc.; automatic sprinkler system; emergency fire pump; emergency generator, c
