Fire safety is a principal concern for naval engineers. On-board fires often escalate quickly, causing massive damage to equipment, facilities and the environment. More importantly, they typically occur in remote areas where assistance is limited and serious injuries or loss of life unfortunately result. Fire protection at sea is especially demanding, with many requirements in place to ensure maritime operations are protected from fire.

Vessel and offshore fires usually start in engine rooms, machinery, electrical controls and storage rooms. Many fire locations are typically in out-of-sight compartments that are often difficult to access making emergency firefighting a challenging task.
