Marine Firefighting Curriculum Development Conference
Curriculum Development Conference
Agenda
Purpose:
To systematically build/modify a comprehensive training solutions approach to marine firefighting beyond NFPA-1405: land-based fire services will use a combination of industry expertise including State Fire Professionals, Port Fire Departments, Marine Terminal Managers, Salvage and Spill Response Companies, Professional Educators and Fire Training Faculty, Coast Guard and Senior Commercial Vessel Mariners.
By employing empirical lessons learned, examining past incidents, and existing heuristic training approaches, develop a more comprehensive set of standards and coursework from nozzle to Incident Commander, from both sides of a berthed vessel.
