A stretcher is laid on top of the ventilation trunking at deck level on the left. A loudspeaker, alarm bell, terminal boxes and a fire extinguisher are by the watertight door in the forward bulkhead. A workbench equipped with a vice is in the starboard forward corner and four fire extinguishers are by the bench. The lift machinery is under the deckhead near the starboard bulkhead and three fire extinguisher positions are next to the starboard aft hoisting chain.
