Fire
fighters and damage control parties on board have a vital role to play in
containing fires, flooding and also the evacuation of personnel trapped in
compartments. To keep service personnel trained, damage control (DC) and
fire fighting (FF) training facilities were commissioned in December 1998
on the then 32 year old ship INS Amba. Since then approximately 150
officers and 2000 sailors of the Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard have
been trained.
