[TheForge] temporary heat shield

[James Binnion]

Fire rates arguably second only to flooding as the most major  
emergency onboard a conventional vessel. There is nowhere to run to to  
get away and no one to fight it but the crew. With all the flammables  
that you have to have on board like fuel and oil for lubrication and  
hydraulics a fire can become larger than you can handle in seconds. I  
would suggest immediate removal of the stove and panneling.
