I'm sorry for the post title, yet it's there for a reason, a very strange one at that!The ninth of June, after we had left Cardiff for London we had our usual security traning. Once the training was done, the Logos Hope community entered its normal day of work. Yet around lunch time the fire alarm went off towards the front of the ship.
The control team assembled as it was trained to ( inside the control team I'm part of the support team) and the attack team got to work!
After 2 to 3 three hours the fire was put out...
What happened? Some Welders were welding (as they normally do) some pipes together in the toilet paper stockpile room, a spark hit some toilet paper way down in some kind of chamber. I took a while for the fire to give off enough heat before the realized what had happened...
Good for us though, everyone reacted in the right way and the fire was in a isolated area. Even though the fire got hot fast and there was a lot of smoke we were able to control it and eventually put it out!
God is with us and protects us, it could of been much worse! It ended up being a very practical exercise and we were able to learn a lot out of it (including how to prevent this in the first place), may we all be more careful!

We ended up not having much toilet paper, but no worries, we've received more in London!
