With thousands of men, tons of ammunition, and flammable fuel aboard, fire was one of the greatest dangers on the USS Alabama. Every sailor received basic firefighting training, and fire stations were located throughout the ship. Whether you were a cook, a gunner, or a mechanic, you were also expected to respond quickly in a fire emergency. On a battleship, safety depended on teamwork—and every hand on deck. | USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park
