Welcome back to your Basic Safety Training program! In this informative video, we delve into the critical components of marine fire protection – Fire Flaps and Dampers – and their vital role in safeguarding ships and their crew during fire emergencies.

🚢🔥 Understanding Fire Divisions: 🔥🚢
Ship compartments are isolated, allowing us to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. However, during normal operation, ventilation ducts provide essential fresh air, creating a potential pathway for fire escalation.

🔐 Fire Flaps: Keeping Fire at Bay 🔐
Learn how Fire Flaps are strategically installed within ventilation ducts and outlets. In the event of a fire, these flaps automatically seal off the supply of fresh air to the fire compartment, containing the flames and smoke within.

🔒 Fire Dampers: Blocking the Fire's Path 🔒
Explore Fire Dampers, mandatory within all ventilation ducts penetrating class-A compartments. Discover how they close swiftly when detecting heat, effectively preventing fire and smoke spread between compartments.

🎨 Color-Coded Icons and Safety Plan 🎨
Understand the internationally recognized IMO icons used to mark Fire Flaps and Dampers on the ship's fire and safety plan. Learn how color-coded labels distinguish different spaces, ensuring quick and accurate identification during emergencies.
