That sounds more like an hydrogen fire, Lucy K. Much rarer but usually much more damaging. Stonehaven had one (not my turn aboard. Early 70s). Next voyage (my turn) Nicoverken troop from Finland retubing main boiler while continued to trade on the auxiliary. Nice chap Fred Turnock C/E carried the can - the source of my "Punshment ship, Chief? Punishment ship! What the f.... do you think you're on now?"
That now jars. I think it ws the baby boiler. The problem that got Fred the can was because it was used normally as a steam-steam generator and it's absence from service caused a long delay in them getting the plant back on from the main boiler without it.
I am surprise no one else from her saw that and put me right.
