M/V Williamsburg is equipped with a fixed fire system, as well as a portable/semi portable system. There are fourteen (14) 100# CO2 cylinders in the fixed system, which are located on the main deck, starboard side, which protects the engine room. This system is equipped with a 30-second time delay, two (2) pneumatic alarms, three (3) pressure switches, one (1) stop valve, ventilation shutdowns, automatic ventilation fire dampers and two (2) remote stations. All of which will need to be tested and brought up to USCG regulation, if failed, PRIOR to the day of the actual inspection. Verify labeling of valves/pull boxes, and condition of flex hoses are within USCG regulation. The time delay will also need to be inspected on the day of the COI for the USCG to witness the timing of the response.
