NOTE
In addition you should keep handy in the galley a light fire
blanket, made of glass fibre and highly effective in case of
fires caused e.g. by overheated fat.
No oxygen > no fire.

If in spite of all preventive measures fire breaks out on the yacht, you should proceed as
follows:
All persons who cannot actively fight the fire, must go on deck either
via the companionway, or
if a fire starts in the galley or engine compartment through the escape hatch over the forward
berth
