Shipboard Fire is a manual on merchant ship types including
Passenger carrying ships of various classes that ply the waters of
the high seas and the lakes and rivers of all of the navigable
waters. Any and all persons who are yachtsmen or who would take
passage on a Cruise ship or other Merchant Vessel would find the
first four chapters of special interest as these chapters dwell on
not only the ship types but also that of the ship's nomenclature
(parts of the ship) and the language (names of the parts) used by
the seamen on board. The manual also covers ship construction in
that it explains the deck planning system and how to find ones way
on board. The main emphasis of Shipboard Fire, however is directed
toward the folks within the Department of Homeland Security and
toward the Land based Firefighters and Emergency personnel who have
Marine Facilities or Ports of Call within their areas of
Jurisdiction or Response. Much of the manual does apply not only
the larger ships that carry commercial goods and passengers but
applies to all vessels or floating platforms down to the smallest
boat, they have the same inherit problems as the big ones. The
manual goes into detail on certain events that may occur on board a
ship during an emergency or fire that describes the Machinery Room
and equipment, Ship Stability problems to keep the ship upright,
the firefighting plan, strategy and logistics. Fires on board ship
require special attention and for the safety of the firefighter,
this manual was written. Putting out a fire on a floating platform
is a dangerous undertaking and its inherent problems are not
experienced on shore side facilities. Sea Captains and Mates and
Marine Terminal Operators would be interested in this manual, as it
would help them understand the problems of the fire service and how
their input would enhance the Firefighting or Rescue effort.
