passengers and 1,428 crew on board caught fire in engine room during

was quickly extinguished by the CO2 firefighting system. All the
passengers were prepared at the assembly stations as a precaution. One
crew member was slightly injured during the accident and all people were
safely evacuated at the berth. The local authorities made a full
inspection of the engine compartment and estimated that the damages are
slight. The ship FREEDOM OF THE SEAS remains fully functional and
