About a month ago there was a boat fire at my Marina. Kinda scary because it was on my dock just a few slips away. The fire started around 0220 hrs the owners were both onboard asleep.. What saved there lives was the fact that they had installed a couple of smoke/fire detectors about 2 weeks before.
The smoke alarms woke them and they were able to get off w/o being hurt. The fire department was theer within minutes but the boat a trawler was a total loss.
I went out and bought two smoke alarms that next weekend.
By the way the fire investigator said the cause was electrical.

have an inexpensive combined unit from Home Depot in the rear berth. Makes
e feel better for a number of hazards, none too likely, but taken
ogether.. real. One to remember is exhaust from an adjacent gasoline engine
oat at a raft up or close dock. We had just that this spring when we tied
p to a 45 foot gas powered powerboat whose generator exhaust aimed at my
ortlight. They turned it on in the middle of the night for cooling. I
hange the battery each spring. It reminds me nicely.
Happy Sailing!

Just curious if others have installed a smoke detector, or if there
nsurance underwriter has asked that you do so. I recently had a survey and
he surveyor noted that I need to add CO monitors in sleeping berths per new
uidelines, but my insurance company is asking me to also add a smoke
etector. I'm certainly not opposed to the idea, but I guess I was a bit
urprised by this one.thanks..
