The Causes of Machinery Space Fires
It is the job of machinery spaces - the engine room, generator, pump houses and so forth -to convert fuel into mechanical and electrical energy. Part of this process involves pumping oil under pressure. Around two-thirds of all engine room fires are caused by high pressure oil line fractures. Because the oil is under pressure, it can take just minutes for the fire to get completely out of control. Machinery space fires typically fall into one of five categories:
Uptake, funnel, economizer and superheater fires.
Oil mist and crankcase explosions.
Scavenger fires.
Electrical problems.
Switchboard fires involving high voltage.
Fire Prevention in Machinery Spaces
Housekeeping
Like all fire prevention, that in machinery spaces is primarily about good housekeeping.
Never leave flammable materials near a heat source. Paint, thinners, varnishes, turpentine and cleaning fluids all present serious hazards and should never be stored in the engine room.
Any accumulation of oil-based substances - in the bilge, for instance - is potentially dangerous. Make sure they are kept clean.
This also applies to oily rags, damp cotton waste, and metal swarf which in the right conditions can spontaneously ignite. Clear up metal shavings especially if coated in oil. In a fire, they will burn with immense ferocity.
Filters must be properly maintained to prevent oil and grease collecting in compressed air lines.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is as essential in a machinery room as anywhere else, but maintenance presents particular fire hazards in machinery spaces. Removing protective lagging exposes hot surfaces which become a potential source of ignition. If left unattended, even for a few minutes, a fire could result. Temporary repairs using non-standard components - or those that do not meet the specification - may produce the conditions needed for a fire, even using an incorrect lubricant can lead to overheating. It is especially important to follow the service instructions when changing oil filters as these operate under pressure. If they are not properly isolated, then you risk oil spraying out over a wide area, which could result in a sudden flash fire. Ensure that you have the proper tools and authorisation before starting any kind of job. For example, hot work will require a hot work permit or you may need to arrange for oil or electrical feeds to be isolated before you start work.
Firefighting in Machinery Spaces
Modern ships equipped with automatic fire sensors can detect a developing fire in its earliest stages. Even if you cannot see smoke or flames, assume that the alarm is genuine; it may be the result of a tiny leak in a pressurised fuel line.
The rules in a machinery space are the same as elsewhere.
Find a fire
I solate it
Report it
Extinguish it or escape
If the fire is small and there is not too much smoke, tackle the fire with a suitable extinguisher. In machinery spaces, there is high voltage electricity so try to isolate the circuits. For this type of fire, use dry powder or CO2.
Isolation is crucial in machinery space fires: isolate oil and diesel valves and switch off the pumps that feed them. Use the panel by the emergency generator or in the alleyway.
Firefighting conditions are difficult in such spaces. Access is confined and temperatures can be very high. Using water in these conditions creates a great deal of steam and high levels of humidity. BA activity in these conditions must be strictly controlled to avoid the effects of heat and humidity.
Hydrocarbon fires rapidly produce high temperatures and high levels of radiated heat from the flames. Entry must be made from as low down as possible and partial ventilation maintained to remove heat and humidity as long as people remain inside.
Evacuate unnecessary crew members from the machinery space. From the engine room, this will often involve using the escape trunking. Use the protected escape route rather than the normal vertical routes. Smoke and heat rise creating greater dangers the higher you go. Even so, wear 10 minute escape hoods for extra protection, where provided.
Once the engine room personnel are safe, close off engine room ventilation fans that may feed the fire with air.
It is essential that everyone goes to their muster station. The first task of the Officer in Charge is to carry out a roll call. If someone is missing, injured, or trapped, a search and rescue party, equipped with breathing apparatus, must go in to find them.
