This article discusses requirements for the extinguishing systems in the engine room. The sources of fire hazards
in engine rooms were characterized. The causes and consequences of selected engine room fires that
occurred within the last five years were presented. The basic requirements for the fire-extinguishing systems
installed in engine rooms were scrutinized. The most commonly used fire-extinguishing systems in engine
rooms are the ones containing a gaseous extinguishing agent. Their main advantages are short response time
after agent release and the ability to supply an extinguishing medium to areas that are hard to access. The agent
used in such systems does not cause damage and there is no need to remove its residues after fighting the fire,
as in the case of other agents such as foams. As an example, a CO2 system was characterized, as it is the most
frequently used in engine rooms.
