What can cause a fire in an engine room?

A fire in an engine room can be caused by several factors, including fuel leaks, overheating machinery, electrical malfunctions, and improper maintenance of equipment. Accumulated flammable fluids or debris can ignite from sparks or high temperatures. Additionally, inadequate ventilation may exacerbate the situation by allowing flammable vapors to accumulate. Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to mitigate these risks.
