Ventilation RequirementsVentilation Requirements
• Many fires/explosions caused by gasoline fumes in enclosed engine/fuel compartments
• Best detector – Your NOSE!
• Exhaust fumes can cause carbon monoxide poisoning – detectors are available

Ventilation Requirements (cont)
Ventilation Requirements (cont)
• Natural ventilation – uses ‘ram effect’ of motion
• Powered ventilation – uses blowers
• Table 2-1 specifies type required

Types of Fire ExtinguishersTypes of Fire Extinguishers
• Carbon Dioxide– Liquid flashes to cold gas & ‘snow’– Excludes Oxygen & snuffs fire– Can cause asphyxiation
• Dry Chemical– Sodium Bicarbonate – when heated
decomposes, absorbs heat and releases CO2
& steam
![Page 18: Boating Skill](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/55cf9230550346f57b946eab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Types of Fire ExtinguishersTypes of Fire Extinguishers
• Halon– Fixed systems– Liquid flashes to gas that inhibits
combustion chain reaction– Can cause asphyxiation– Can degrade stratospheric ozone
