smoke and heat alarms

Two fire alarms in each cabin. A fire at sea is to prevented at all cost.

This is a well designed alarm panel. Monitors heat, smoke and bilgewater alarms.

As we are a small passengers ship we need to comply with the Canadian DOT standards. They state we need a heat detector over every heat source like engine, stove and heater. Also we need smoke detectors. They must installed in all sleeping quarters and be hardwired into the ships wiring system and are connected to a central alarm panel in the pilothouse. We also have the battery operated smoke alarms installed so we are fully backed up in case of a power failure.

Although we are required by law to carry these, no boat should be with out. A fire at sea is not a good thing and the outcome is often end in disaster.
