  • Tell visiting personnel to “check on their buddy”

when responding to the general alarm

  • Always call the fire department on your way in
  • Review life expectancy of equipment
  • Consider emergency lighting on the back deck
  • Unfortunately, Labor Day was the deadly fire

aboard Conception. Since then we also physically show passengers in the lower berths how to use the hatch and have them operate it

  • We are purchasing personal emergency

breathing units for berths
