Fire in the engineroom

Excercise where Diesel 4 is on fire. Quick response is essential. One injured needs immediate care.
Rest of the crew seeks shelter, they gather at the rendezvous points.

The Dutch Navy vessel Hr.Ms. Rotterdam and the 2nd Battalion Dutch Marines practice a widescale exercise off the southern coastal area of Great Britain. Its a first in which ship and Marines are tested and judged as an integrated amphibious unit. They train for their participation in NATO Response Forces and during this exercise they are scrutinized by the Flag Officer Sea Training (FROST) in Plymouth. It forms the traditional finale of a long preparation in advance of the real deal.

Drills are important, like having the guy DOING the rescuing to have a breathing apparatus or something, and the best advice to give when a shipmate has fallen, gently slap his face with your hand ... ahhh, no wonder we get things right so often

Drills are very important, in order to achieve, exercise and face difficult situations! Above mentioned rescue drill was well organized. Leadership plays a key role!

3 priorities- 1)Life safety (save ppl) 2)incident stabilization(Stop whatever it is from doing more dmg) 3)property conservation.

I realize that Military commanders might juggle this in order to get the greatest end result, but the first , in the long term, effects the next two.

If you have enough brains in a serious leadership crisis just remember the first 2 and plot it from there.

I am a structural firefighter, for a vol dept.

Ive had crazy amounts of training, in real structural fire situations.

1)there might not be many flammable structural elements in this evolution.

2)CO (IE Carbon Monoxide) is probably the reason for the first crewman going down.

3)First guy on the scene did his job, he recognized the situation , evacuated the effected man, and communicated his situation to the rest of the ship.

4)The IC kicked in.

The real time scenario can never be simulated. The fire consumes oxygen and smoke pollutes whatever air is left in confined space and then you literally feel short pf breathe. Its fucking life threatening...
