The main cause of fire on board? Smoke alarms should also be installed on ships in case of fire

China news network May 9 An Italian oil and gas industry contractor Saipem said 14 people were burned to varying degrees in a fire that broke out in the Caspian sea on the azerbaijani vessel islafil gushenov, the Russian satellite network reported. The main causes of fire on board are:

1. Fire caused by open or concealed fire.
Open fire is to point to the fire that contains blaze namely, be like the fire of matchstick, gas cut, oil range, concealed fire points to the fire that does not contain blaze namely, be like cigarette end, charcoal spark. Both open fire and hidden fire are closely related to the daily life of the crew.
2. Fire caused by hot surface.
The exhaust pipes, steam pipes, boiler casings, etc. of the machinery on board the ship are hot surfaces. If oil spills onto these hot surfaces accidentally, or clothes and cotton yarn are placed close to the hot surface, the temperature will rise and the fire will be caused.
Fires caused by Mars.
Mars has metal flying out of chimneys, created by impact and friction. It has a higher temperature can ignite some combustible materials, but also can cause oil gas or other combustible gas explosion, resulting in the ship fire.
4. Fire caused by spontaneous combustion.
Oil-stained cotton yarn, rags, wood chips and other combustible materials, if exposed to the air, coupled with poor ventilation, for a long time will be oxidized heat and spontaneous combustion resulting in a fire.

In addition, a large number of electrical equipment on board, such as electrical circuit short circuit, overload operation, design and installation errors, wire aging, insulation failure and random wire pulling phenomenon, will lead to over current and heat, thus causing fire. Must install smoke to feel alarm in time so.
