Fire Response Checklist

  1. Raise the alarm and shut down affected systems (fuel, electrics).
  2. Don PPE (gloves, goggles) and deploy appropriate extinguisher.
  3. Close hatches/vents if safe to smother fire.
  4. Report status to skipper and prepare abandon-ship judgement.
  5. Ventilate and monitor for reflash once extinguished.

Document specific extinguisher locations and shutoffs for the boat.
