Fire on deck

If the packages are not directly involved in the fire, then efforts should be concentrated on preventing the fire reaching the explosives. This is usually done by keeping the packages wet and using water jet from as far away as practicable to drive the fire away. If practicable remove packages that are likely to be involved. If the fire reaches the explosives the crew should withdraw to a safe area and continue to fight the fire from a safe position. Where practicable articles having been exposed to fire should be kept separated from unexposed articles and monitored from a safe distance. Seek advice.
