Skirt boards properly installed to below the water line will protect the billet from random gasoline spills floating in the water. As an alternate, substitute Toughide flotation billets. PlastiSpan flotation billets and Toughide flotation billets are combustible and should be treated with normal care. This is not a concern in floating structures but during construction, normal fire precautions and good housekeeping practices should be observed. Avoid open flames, welding torches and high intensity lamps.
Fire extinguishers using water foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemicals are all effective.
