Fire usually spreads very fast — be quick to extinguish the fire with the fire extinguisher on the boat!
See the section Safety diagram for the exact location of the fire extinguisher(s).
If the fire starts to get out of control, leave the burning boat to save lives.
Always put down the fire by depriving the fire of oxygen.
Do not use water!
Using water in fire involving flammable liquids can spread the liquid and make the fire worse.
