Safety and Operations
It is essential that you have, maintain, and regularly inspect fire extinguishers. As the owner/operator, it is
imperative that you learn the differences between the different types of fires that can occur aboard your
boat. With this knowledge you can quickly extinguish fires with the proper type of fire extinguisher.
Required Number of Portable Fire Extinguishers
The overall length of the boat determines the minimum number of portable fire extinguishers required.
Also, vessels with an approved fixed fire fighting system require fewer extinguishers, as explained in Table
2-8.
Fire Extinguisher Maintenance and Service
The boat owner/operator shall:
• Have fire-fighting equipment checked at the intervals indicated on the equipment.
• Replace portable fire extinguishers, if expired or discharged, by devices of identical fire fighting capacity.
• Have fixed system systems refilled or replaced when expired or discharged.
Any fire extinguisher that does not satisfy the maintenance requirements must be replaced, or recharged. If
recharging a fire extinguisher, be sure to use a qualified fire extinguisher servicing company.
