fire extinguishers are only to be used to fight fire in the galley. In all other living
compartments the dry powder fire extinguishers are to be used.
Please attend that after discharging of the fire extinguishers the
extinguishing agent is in the air. Please ventilate the engine room
first before you enter them.
Please complete the equipment with an additional fire blanket in the nearest range of the stove.

The extinguishers have to be checked regularly. Please observe
the check periods. Make sure that they are ready to work.
Extinguishers with outdated check period or used extinguishers must be replaced by
extinguishers with the same rate and with the same or higher capacity.
