NTSB Investigation: Crew unfamiliarity with fixed fire-extinguishing system
The NTSB has published its investigation report on the fire aboard the 'Capt. Kirby Dupuis' on Nov 9, 2021. On Nov 4 the tug had departed Paducah, Kentucky, bound upriver for Steubenville, Ohio, pushing thirteen dry cargo barges filled with sand, rock, and steel. Early on Nov 9, it was sailing with both engines about 1,275-1,290 rpm for a speed of about 5– 6 knots when the captain, on watch in the wheelhouse, noticed a flash on the engine room video display. Immediately following the flash, the vessel’s fire detection system alarmed. The captain sounded the general alarm and instructed the deckhand on watch to notify all crewmembers about the fire and to begin firefighting efforts.
