Boat Fires Part 2: Galley Fires, Pan Fires & Gas vs Induction Cooking
Galley fires are one of the most common and most dangerous fires on board — and many start with simple mistakes that are completely preventable.
In Part 2 of this series, we focus on galley and cooking fires, including pan fires, gas systems, and whether induction cooking is a safer alternative for boats.
In this video, you’ll learn:
What pan fires are, how they start, and why they escalate so fast
Why you should NEVER use water on a pan fire
The correct response to a galley fire using lids, fire blankets, and extinguishers
Why fire blankets are essential equipment on every boat
Common galley fire risks most boat owners overlook
The real risks of LPG / propane gas on boats
Why gas leaks are especially dangerous in marine environments
Gas safety essentials: lockers, solenoids, detectors, and hose inspections
The pros and cons of induction cooking on boats
Why induction reduces fire risk — but only if the electrical system is designed correctly
Cooking fires don’t give second chances. Knowing how to react in the first few seconds can mean the difference between a minor incident and abandoning ship.
