Fire on a vessel refers to any uncontrolled combustion that occurs on a ship or boat, posing significant risks to the safety of the crew, passengers, and the vessel itself. It can result from various sources, such as fuel leaks, electrical malfunctions, or cooking accidents. The presence of flammable materials and confined spaces makes fires at sea particularly dangerous, often requiring immediate action to extinguish the flames and prevent loss of life and property. Effective fire prevention and response measures are crucial for maritime safety.

The signal for a fire on boards is a long blast on the ship's whistle along with sounding of the vessel's general alarm.
A vessel would require an additional 5BC fire extinguisher if it carries certain items that pose a higher risk of fire. These items typically include flammable liquids, gases, and combustible materials such as fuel, oil, or paint. Additionally, if the vessel has cooking appliances or electrical equipment that could spark, an extra extinguisher is advisable for enhanced safety. Always refer to specific regulations and guidelines for the type of vessel and its operations to determine exact requirements.
