🔥 ENGINE ROOM FIRE -WHY CO₂ SYSTEM IS YOUR LAST DEFENSE ⚙️🧯

CO₂ Fire Extinguishing System is one of the most critical safety systems onboard — designed to smother fire by removing oxygen from the protected area within seconds.

Here’s what every engineer must know 👇

1️⃣ Purpose:
CO₂ replaces oxygen in the engine room, stopping combustion instantly.

2️⃣ Activation:
Can be triggered remotely from the control station or manually inside the CO₂ room.

3️⃣ Key Safety Rules:
⚠️ Always sound the alarm before release — CO₂ is deadly in enclosed spaces.
⚙️ Ventilate properly after discharge and ensure no one is inside.
🧰 Check all pull wires, valves, and indicators during routine inspections.

⛔️Maintenance Reminder:
⛔️Inspect visually every 30 days.
⛔️Test alarm and ventilation systems.
⛔️Verify cylinders are secured and free from corrosion or leaks.

💡 Remember: Fire can start anytime. The CO₂ system gives you one chance to respond — make sure it’s ready.
