Fire on safari boat Suzana in Egypt (Red Sea Aggressor)

[dmaziuk]

I did once do a project in an aircraft maintenance hanger. We were told it would fill with 6 feet of foam in 10 seconds if the system triggered. Felt it best not to investigate the accuracy of the statement.

OTOH those CGI'ed endless corridors of servers you see in teevee commercials, you gotta be a real fast runner. On the gripping hand, the only way to power a place like that is to put it right on top of a nuclear power plant, so if there's a fire there... hypoxia might the better alternative.

Comforting to know they weren't just messing with us

I'm starting to like the small exploding ball of dry powder more and more....

This is a crazy guy with a crazy video setting several off, taking them apart, etc.

There is also this other brand doing something that performs similarly, and that some liveaboard in Indonesia has:

BONPET Ampule | Fire Defender

Thanks.
No recollection of colors, but matches my recollection in every way otherwise (2016), including the slightly raised (wooden slat) lips (presumably so things do not slide down too easily) and including towels and t-shirts that I removed from on top of my chargers / camera multiple times...

Does anyone recall any fire extinguishers nearby?

Typically no one puts fire extinguishers out on deck, they tend to rot and become unusable quite quickly.

Made me think of those glass fire grenades from the 1900s.

A long time ago, I worked in a restaurant. There was a fire and the automatic powder based extinguisher system went off while we were in the kitchen. It was quite dramatic and completely put out the fire. It took days for us to clean up the mess, but we were all alive.

Not sure what type the engine room fire suppression system is on our dive boat. But, the canister is huge relative to the engine compartment.

I’d expect CO2 if the engine room is unmanned. It’s much cheaper the FM200 etc. But might be something else.
