Yesterday I learned of a Bayliner 4788 that was lost to a fire originating in the engine room.
The last "at sea" fire that I remember also originated from the engine room.
So....
The question for the crowd is, What systems, and strategies do you have onboard to detect and suppress a engine room fire.
Do you have a automatic system?
Do you have a permenant mounted manual system?
Do you rely on portable fire extinguishers, and if so how large are they.
Do you have smoke detectors in the engine room?
If you have smoke detectors are they linked to an external siren?
