Spring Valley Posted February 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2013 This is a video produced by Royal Caribbean about the lessons learned from two fires on Royal's ships and how different the outcomes were just by the fire suppression system used.

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted February 19, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2013 One day on Liberty of the Seas in Cozumel I stayed on board to have a peaceful day. Well, as I was casually strolling around the ship, the crew suddenly conducted a full bore fire drill. I was stunned and fascinated to see crew dressed in full fire fighters' regalia carrying heavy fire hoses headed into some lounge and they meant business. Other crew were all busy doing their assigned fire emergency tasks and I was so impressed with this drill. I have never forgotten it. It did a lot to boost my confidence in how Roayl Caribbean crew would handle an emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Valley Posted February 19, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted February 19, 2013 What a great video.Somehow makes you feel a little safer.Thanks for that. That's what i thought too, at least they learned from past mistakes and how the simplest oversight in the engine room can have big consequences!

ikirumata Posted February 19, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2013 What happened to the crewperson working on the engine next to the one that blew up? If I was that guy, I would have my own personal Carnival Triumph lower deck episode going on as the other engine blew up! I hope he made it out ok.

Pomperaugrr Posted February 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 19, 2013 What happened to the crewperson working on the engine next to the one that blew up? If I was that guy, I would have my own personal Carnival Triumph lower deck episode going on as the other engine blew up! I hope he made it out ok. The narration in the video said he was not injured and was able to escape. That is one of the advantages of the HI Fog system, in that it does not remove breathable air from the enclosed space like CO2 or Halon. This was a great find! Thanks for posting the video link.

Cindy Posted February 19, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks for sharing that! I thought it was very interesting. It's a good reminder that the ships we love are very complicated pieces of machinery, and we need to be able to trust that the cruise lines are maintaining them properly. Both of the fires talked about in the video were caused by relatively small parts!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinlady1947 Posted February 19, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Great video. Thanks for sharing. I will be on the Explorer in just 2 weeks. Nice to know that in the event that anything should happen, we will be in good hands. We were on the Explorer the other year and there was a fire in one section of the ship. Captain came on about 10-15 minutes later saying all was good. Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Valley Posted February 19, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I was curious where you could find out if all ships in the Royal fleet now has these systems in place, I know it would give me peace of mind knowing that any engine room fire could be snuffed out in seconds!:D Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
