From The National Transportation Safety Board:
Engineroom Fire On Board U.S. Small Passenger Vessel Queen of the West
quote:(Probable cause: The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the fire on board the Queen of the West was the failure of a pressurized component on the port main propulsion hydraulic system, resulting in hydraulic oil spraying onto the port engine’s exhaust piping and igniting. Contributing to the survivability of the vessel, and to the absence of injury or loss of life, was Majestic America Line’s voluntary installation of an automatic fire detection system and a fixed fire suppression system.
