[QUOTE="sl1000794, post: 268364, member: 6974"] The bulkhead in the aft of the bunk area divides the sleeping quarters from the engine room. That would never be penetrated in order to be used as a means of escape. Whether there was a hatch thru the ceiling onto the dive deck above or not I have not been able to find out for certain. The Conception was capable of carrying 1,600 gal. of diesel fuel for the 2 Diesel engines and the diesel generator. It also had an inflatable tender/chase boat with a gas engine, so gasoline was also carried on board. The kitchen cooking facilities were propane fueled so extra propane was probably also onboard. Of all three fuels to cause a fire like this to occur, it makes the most sense to me that there was a propane leak of some sort. Here is a layout of the bunk level and lower showers that I got from the Truth Aquatics website. [ATTACH=CONFIG]37658._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
