Through this program, firefighters and responders from Alaska coastal communities will be provided hands-on classroom and field training opportunities that are tailored for the challenges faced in Alaska.

Topics include: shipboard basics, cruise ship awareness, vessel familiarization, private/public response coordination, politics of a marine incident, and more.  The symposium will be a mix of classroom lectures, hands-on training and live fire exercises.

The council is excited to partner with AVTEC – Alaska’s Institute of Technology for this year’s event.

More information on the upcoming symposium, including a complete schedule, is being updated on our Marine Firefighting page.
