Registration for the 2013 Marine Firefighting Symposium is now open.
Through this program, up to 75 firefighters and first responders from Prince William Sound and other Alaska coastal communities will be provided hands-on classroom and field training opportunities that are tailored for the challenges faced in Alaska. Topics will include shipboard basics, cruise ship awareness, fire plans and ship’s crew coordination, politics of a marine incident, and more.
The event will be held October 8-10 at AVTEC – Alaska’s Institute of Technology’s facility in Seward. Â
