Oz & Nutsy,

For the both of you, the Axes are used to vent the Fire areas. This is
to minimize the danger of explosion. Cutting a hole in the roof of a
burning building isn't done to rescue personnel. It is done to prevent
"FLASH BACK" down below.

Good God!! Guys do you close up your vessel during fuelling? I think
that the both of you should do some serious research, and fast, about
fire safety.

A ship board fire should be fought and extinguished until it is out or
you have to step up to your "Inflatable" Remember the best method is
not to have one. Any fire left UNATTENDED, should be left with a plan to
fight the fire is it gets out of hand.
