Fire on a boat is a serious matter. On shore you can run away and call for help. On a boat, you have nowhere to go except into the water, and help may be far away.
You can prevent many fires by quickly finding and correcting conditions that could cause a fire.
Inspect your boat's bilge frequently. Keep it free of grease, oil and debris. Check your fuel system for leaks.
Regularly inspect electrical wiring. Repair bare wires or loose electrical connections to prevent a spark from igniting fuel vapors.
