Abstract

A fire containment and monitoring system includes a control system that communicates with a fire protection system and an array of alarms, smoke detectors, heat detectors, ventilation dampers, fire dampers, fire doors, and manual call points. The system has particular usefulness for kitchens onboard watercraft, especially large ships, where fire containment is critical to the survivability of the vessel, passengers, crew, and cargo. The control system communicates with the alarms, smoke detectors, heat detectors, ventilation dampers, fire dampers, fire doors, manual call points, and fire protection system, and it initiates a comprehensive list of actions if a smoke detector, a heat detector, or a manual call point is triggered within the monitoring portion of the system.
