FIRE SAFETY GUIDE

FIRE EXTINGUISHER - A fire extinguisher is a handheld active fire protection device usually filled with a dry or wet chemical used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergencies

SANDBOX - Metal Sandbox used for extinguishing fires at gas stations or in industrial plants. It is used to store sand which can be used to extinguish class D Fire

FIRE AXE - Fire axes are among the most common firefighting tools. There are various types of firefighter axes; the two most used are the flat-head fire axe and the pick-head fire ax. Either can be used for smashing windows or doors to gain entry or to chop holes in a roof for ventilation.

FIRE DETECTOR - A device which can detect a fire, and provide a signal to an alarm circuit. Fire detectors can be operated by smoke, flames, and heat, or any combination of these factors.

FIRE ALARM BUTTON - Recognizable usually by its green color, the fire alarm call point is the enclosure that houses a button to activate a fire alarm. Usually, the user will break the glass and press the emergency button centered in the middle of the unit.

INDOOR FIRE HYDRANT - Indoor fire hydrant is an indoor pipe network that supplies water to the fire scene. It has an interface with a valve. It is a fixed indoor fire-fighting facility in factories, warehouses, high-rise buildings, public buildings and ships.

WATER - Water is an effective fire extinguishing agent because it cools the fuel source and removes heat from the fire triangle. When water is applied to a fire, it absorbs heat from the flames and surrounding area, lowering the temperature and reducing the fire's intensity.

FIRE HELMET - Modern firefighter helmets are typically thermoplastic or fiberglass. They can protect the wearer from extreme heat conditions and other debris.

FIRE SAFETY SIGNS - Fire safety signs are designed to warn staff and visitors of any fire hazards, to provide an instruction or to give safety information. It is vital to provide clear and concise instructions about the actions to take in the case of a fire.

A Friendly Reminder from the Bureau of Fire Protection Region XI

Robert Smalls stole a Confederate Ship and sailed it to Freedom disguised as a captain, freeing his crew & their families.

-In 1862, Robert was serving as the pilot of a steam powered, Confederate ship, The CSS Planter. It was transporting large guns out of Charleston Harbor and deliver them to Union Navy forces on blockade duty

-On the evening of 12th May 1862, The ship was docked and the confederate officers left the ship to spend the night on shore, leaving the slave crew on board. Rob had gotten permission to bring the crew’s families on board for the evening, as long as they were gone before curfew.

-Instead of the families returning to their homes at curfew, he hid them on a nearby wharf. At around 3am, ready for his master plan, he dressed in the ship’s Captain’s coat and straw hat, built up a head of steam, and cast off!

-First thing first, he sailed to the other wharf to pick up the crew's families, and then they began their hazardous journey to freedom. Walking about the deck, Smalls mimicked the Captain’s mannerisms, responding with the proper coded signals at the Confederate checkpoints.

-Only when the ship had sailed out of gun range & began heading straight for the Union blockade, did the confederates realise what was happening and they raised the alarm.

-Approaching the blockade, the union navy fleet, the ship USS Onward was about to open fire on this seemingly Confederate ship, but Smalls raised a white flag replacing the red confederate flag so they held fire.

-The Onwards captain, boarded the Planter and Smalls asked for a US flag to mount on the ship. He surrendered the Planter and its cargo to the United States Navy. The people aboard the ship became free from their confederate enslavers for the first time in their lives

Smalls became an advocate for public education, following the Civil War and was elected to the state Senate in 1872. He eventually served five terms in the House of Representatives between 1875 and 1887.

Seafarers should keep in mind that there's no specialized medical assistance at sea. As such, it is the responsibility of each person on board to work safely to avoid personal injury and health issues.

In spite of all the training given, human error leading to accidents or injury cannot be eliminated; and knowledge of the functions of the human body and of providing immediate medical assistance in the form of First Aid, is critical in the saving of life in medical emergencies.

It's essential for all shipboard personnel to know what action to take in the case of an accident or medical emergency.
