A system adapted for fighting a fire within areas of a ship that normally are inaccessible to conventional fire fighting equipment. The system includes a fluid carrying conduit supported on the underside of a hatch cover, connector structure for connecting a source of fluid to the conduit and a plurality of openings located along the conduit providing a field of coverage for the fluid which is discharged. The system is adapted both for automatic and manual operation, it may be used for fighting fires with water, fluids, gases and foams, and it may be used to sample ambient conditions within the cargo storing area. The system has particular applicability in use with containerships, but also may be used with vessels of all types which are equipped with hatch covers.
