Post Fire Reentry Procedure (continued)
4.
After ensuring that no reflash risks exist, the engine room must be ventilated in accordance with the following proce-
dure:
a.
The crewmember who checked for reflash risks should reset the engine room intake fire flaps while in the engine
room and should remain in the engine room during ventilation to continue monitoring for reflash risks.
b.
OPEN the engine room exhaust fire flaps.
c.
Turn ON both engine room ventilation fans.
d.
Ventilate the engine room for at least 15 minutes before proceeding to the cleanup phase.
5.
After the engine room has been ventilated and has cooled down, clean up the engine room as follows:
a.
The cleanup crew must don rain gear, NBC gloves, paper respirators (dust masks), chemical protective goggles, and
face shields.
b.
Wash down the engine room interior and all equipment with fresh water.
NOTE
Bilge water that has been exposed to FM-200 fire extinguishing agent in extinguishing a
fire shall be classified and treated as hazardous waste.
c.
Use the oily water collection system to remove all contaminated bilge water from the engine room. Discharge this
contaminated water only to a suitable treatment facility.
Fire in Spaces Other Than the Engine Room
Fires in spaces other than the engine room may be extinguished using standard established firefighting procedures.
Fire on a Weather Deck or on Another Vessel
In addition to the standard, established firefighting procedures mentioned above, fires on a weather deck or on another
vessel may be controlled with the fire monitor. Operation of the fire monitor is detailed in the Fire Monitor section of
FLOODING
Most flooding is caused by structural damage below the waterline or by damaged raw water piping. Should flooding occur,
the crew should:
1.
Slow or halt the flow of incoming water by whatever means are available. If the water is entering through a hole in the
hull, the hole must be temporarily repaired. There are two general methods of temporarily repairing a hole: either put
something into it or put something over it. In either case, try to reduce the area through which water can enter the vessel
or an area through which it can pass from one compartment to another.
2.
Activate the bilge pumps as described in WP 0026 00. Operate the bilge pumps until the flooded compartment is pumped
dry. If the flow of water into the compartment cannot be completely stopped, continue pumping as necessary in order
to control the flooding in the affected space.
