Fire aboard is only one, of many, scenarios in which the answer to “what if” is:

I the first instance, I recommend that the prudent cruiser take every measure to mitigate the likelihood of these disasters occurring. This would include a careful survey of every source of combustion, ensuring robust construction & “fail-safe” design; and the preparation of (and adherence to) safe operating practices.
In the second instance, I suggest we prepare to mitigate the damages caused when disasters occur. This would include the installation of fire detection systems, and redundant fire suppression equipment; and education/training on it’s effective use.
Only when the prevention and cure issues had been dealt with, to the best of my ability (and sitisfaction), would I devote any resources to escape mechanisms.
