FIREFIGHTING SYSTEM

The firefighting system consists of raw water supplied equipment and includes the fire stations, the fire moni-

tors, the AFFF pump, and the diesel engine-driven firefighting pump.

FIRE STATIONS

The purpose of the fire stations is to make pressurized firefighting water available to multiple locations on the

vessel. The fire stations are capable of shooting 70 gallons (265 liters) of water per minute (in a solid stream)

about 75 feet (23 meters) when pressurized to 100 PSI (6.9 bar). There are 11 fire stations located throughout

the vessel. Each is provided with 50 feet (5.2 meters) of 1 inch diameter high pressure fire hose, a spanner

wrench, an international thread adapter, and an all purpose nozzle. Refer to table 1 for fire station locations.
