CASE STUDY
Case study - 1. Premature Reopening of Fire Area Causes Re-ignition
While underway a towing vessel with 6 crewmembers on board experienced an engine room fire. The chief engineer was in the engine room when the fire broke out. The only exit was an accommodation ladder which was in the path of the oil spray fire. The chief engineer exited through the fire, which ignited his clothing. The other crewmembers, who had also been alerted to the fire, discovered the chief engineer and extinguished the flames on his clothing. Nonetheless, the chief engineer suffered burns on more than 90 percent of his body.
As a first response, the crew released CO2 from the vessel's fire suppression system into the engine room and extinguished the fire. After observing a noticeable reduction in heat and smoke, the Master reported that the fire was extinguished and crewmembers opened the doors to the vessel's superstructure and began de-smoking it. However, this action compromised the fire boundary by allowing CO2 to escape and fresh air to enter the interior of the vessel, which caused the fire to reflash and rage out of control, consuming most of the tug's superstructure. The crew had to abandon ship and were later rescued by SAR resources.
The vesse's chief engineer was fatally injured, and the 5 remaining crewmembers suffered minor injuries.
Findings of the report:
- the engine room fire was probably caused by the ignition of lubricating oil that sprayed from a fatigue-fractured fitting on one of the main engine's pre-lubrication oil pumps onto the hot surface of the main engine's exhaust manifold.
Contributing to the extent of the fire damage was the crewmembers' compromise of the fire boundaries when they prematurely began de-smoking the vessel's superstructure.
The inability to completely secure the engine room’s fire boundaries also exacerbated the consequences of the fire.
The abundance of the flammable material throughout the vessel was also a contributing factor to the severity of the fire.
