How to handle smoke detection behind closed doors<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most dangerous situations on board is noticing <\/span><b>smoke billowing from behind closed doors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while it is not clear how much fire is burning inside. Smoke seeping through the door indicates that there is a possibility of a fire in that enclosed space, and improperly opening the door could cause the fire to flare up (due to the sudden addition of oxygen). When encountering this situation, the discoverer should calmly follow the following procedure:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check door temperature:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Use <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">palm of hand<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Quickly touch the door or use a special tool to feel for heat. If the door is blazing hot, it means there is a big fire behind it \u2013 absolutely do not open the door at this time. If the door is slightly warm or normal, you can proceed to the next step but still be very careful.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Open the door slightly to observe (if safe):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Stand to one side of the door (avoid facing it), unlock it and then <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">open the door a little<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> just enough to see inside. Ready to close immediately if needed. Quickly check the inside condition: smoke, fire, heat levels. <\/span><b>Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if seen <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thick smoke<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through the door slot, close the door immediately \u2013 this indicates a major fire, do not enter without specialized breathing equipment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Close doors and do not enter if smoke is excessive:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In case of heavy smoke or strong fire inside, <\/span><b>Never enter without permission<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Close the door to limit the oxygen to feed the fire and stop the smoke from spreading. Do not enter alone, or even with two people, without a breathing mask or SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) \u2013 toxic fumes can cause asphyxiation very quickly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Press the emergency alarm:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Activate <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">general alarm system<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the ship (usually by pressing a nearby fire alarm button or using a bridge radio) to notify the entire ship of the situation.

Panic will only make the situation worse, leading to jostling, pushing and shoving, causing injury or hindering crew members from performing their duties.

For example, if you are asked to move to an adjacent compartment or onto an air deck, do so immediately. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolutely do not separate from the group or act differently from the guide.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because it may put you in danger or make rescue work difficult.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do not return to retrieve luggage or belongings:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No matter how important your luggage is, <\/span>human life is still above all<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Do not re-enter a burning area to retrieve items \u2013 this could result in you becoming trapped in the fire or inhaling toxic smoke. Leave the danger zone as quickly as possible, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every asset is replaceable, but you are not.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wear life jacket as instructed when required:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In case of emergency, passengers need to prepare to leave the ship.

Also, stay low when moving, because smoke tends to rise \u2013 the air near the deck is cleaner. Move quickly to a well-ventilated area or follow the crew&#039;s instructions to stay away from the source of the smoke.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, passengers should pay attention to their surroundings and listen carefully. If you see someone else panicking, try to <\/span>reassure or ask crew members to assist them<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
