一艘54000吨的集装箱船在海上起火,被引导进入开普敦水域。
船体起火,因此船长封闭了舱室,并于9月19日将船驶往开普敦港。
然而,根据议员JP Smith的说法,由于火势无法控制,该船无法靠岸,不得不停泊在海湾中。
来自开普敦市消防和救援部门的10名队员聚集在一起,然后乘船前往该船。
消防员可以成功地将水泵入受影响的区域,然后在水转向蒸汽时再次将其密封。
一旦确认船上的内部温度明显下降,船就可以最终靠岸了。
其中一名消防员在执行任务期间吸入了大量烟雾,但情况稳定,正在继续接受医疗救助。
英文原文
One 54000-ton container vessel caught alight while it was out at sea and was directed into the waters of Cape Town.
The fire was ablaze in the hull, so the ship captain sealed the compartment and, on 19 September, took the vessel to the Cape Town Harbour.
However, the vessel could not dock and had to be anchored in the bay as the fire was not in control, per Alderman JP Smith.
A 10-member crew from the City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Department assembled and ferried out to the vessel.
The firefighters could successfully pump water into the impacted area before sealing it off again as the water turned toward the steam.
As soon as it had been confirmed that the internal temperature on the ship had dropped significantly, the vessel could finally dock.
One of the firefighters experienced massive smoke inhalation during this mission but is stable and continuing to receive medical aid.
