The Fire Lifecycle
•Growth- Low temperature, fire is localized in vicinity of its origin
•Rollover- Formation of flame front of burning gases across the overhead of the space
•Flashover- Sudden spread of flame to all remaining combustibles in the fire space
•Fully Developed- All combustibles in the space are burning. Burning limited only by the amount of oxygen available. Space may be too hot, require indirect attack
•Decay- Fire consumes all available fuel, combustion slows (decays) and dies out
What spaces does the MSFD pertain to?

CMWD Zones
Zone 1: foc’sle-
Zone 2: fwd superstructure-
Zone 3: aft superstructure-
Zone 4: flight deck-
Zone 5: fantail-
Discuss activation of CMWD system
Can be activated using local switches located near the five check valves, one for each of the zones in the system. Can also be remotely activated using MCMS
Collective Protection System
Create a toxic free environment.
Provides a total protection vs. liquid, solid, and gaseous CBR agent inside the CPS zone. Personnel are safe without protective clothing or masks
Discuss the function of the Decontamination Station
A designated area for decontaminating personnel exposed to a CBR attack prior to reentry of the ship

Four principals of investigation
- Thoroughly
- Cautiously
- Report quickly & clearly
- Repeat
What are the contents of an investigators kit?
•liquid load list
•2 sounding tapes (1 for fuel tanks, 1 for water tanks)
•chalk & water indicating past
•various sized t-wrenches
•thermal scanner
•rags
What are the roles and responsibilities of the ATL (before/after entering the affected space)
•directs Attack Team to fire
•monitors the safety upon entering, occupying, and exiting the affected space of the Attack Team
•uses thermal imager to monitor for high temps, heat stress, possible weak areas that could harm or trap the team inside
•report all updates to the OSL
Fire Doctrine Precedence
- Fire
- Flooding
- Toxic Gas
- Casualty
Initial Action Scenario: Toxic Gas
- Notify EOW/GPOW
- Shoulder EEBD
- Grab second EEBD
- Ensure no one is in affected space
- Close & guard boundaries to ensure no one enters affected space
Initial Action Scenario: Flooding
- Notify EOW/GPOW
- Control flooding (rags, blouse, etc.)
- Wait for relief or leave when it reaches the deck plates (electrical hazard)
Initial Action Scenario: Controllable Fire
- Notify EOW/GPOW
- Shoulder EEBD
- If safe, attack fire with no more than 2 fire extinguishers
- If fire is out notify EOW and assume the reflash watch if fire continues back out of space (notify eow) and set boundaries
- Wait to be relieved by Attack Team or other relief
Initial Action Scenario: Uncontrollable Fire
- Notify EOW/GPOW
- Do not enter space
- Set boundary
- Wait to be relieved by Attack Team or other relief
