I was 14 years at sea before going to rigs and sailed mostly with Sulzer and B&W engines on motor ships also never saw a scavenge fire although as had been said before I did read about it in text books.
I saw one galley chip pan fire on the Euroliner extinguished by the C/E using fire blanket and one switchboard fire on the Chemical Explorer causing a blackout this fire was put out by myself and the J/E using CO2 extinguishers. Never saw a fire on rigs in 26 years .
