What should you do if a fire breaks out in the bow of your boat?

If a fire breaks out in the bow of your boat, first ensure everyone on board is alerted and begins to don life jackets. Shut off fuel and electrical systems if it’s safe to do so, and use a fire extinguisher to attempt to control the flames. If the fire is uncontrollable, abandon the vessel and head to a safe distance in the water until help arrives. Always have a plan for emergencies and ensure your safety equipment is accessible.
