FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.
The fire extinguisher is not supplied by the manufacturer. Your boat must be equipped with a fire extinguisher by a BRIG
dealer when the boat is delivered.
Approved fire extinguishers are required on all BRIG boats. Besides the minimum requirements always check local rules
for additional requirements and equipment.
Consult a professional when choosing the type of fire extinguishers. Your fire
extinguishers must be approved for extinguishing fires with flammable liquids (gasoline, oil, etc.) and for extinguishing
fires caused by electrical problems. We recommend carrying at least two fire extinguishers on board.
Approved extinguishers are hand-portable. The extinguishers contain a plate that shows the manufacturers name and
extinguisher type, capacity and operating instructions.
They have a special marine type mounting bracket which keeps the extinguisher solidly mounted until needed. The
extinguisher needs to be mounted in a readily accessible location but one out of being bumped by people while
underway. All approved extinguishers need to have an indication gauge.
