Boy a sub could become a vessel of death on short order with no oxygen... The fire suppression system seems to be more dangerous than the fire threat...
Because of the closed atmosphere on subs you have emergency breathing masks that plug into a set of air banks. Donning masks should be automatically done by everyone within seconds.
It is about the first thing that a submariner learns how to do.
