Marine Fire Fighting

New entrants about to join a vessel, new and experienced officers performing inspections and training, or officers seeking higher certification will all find Marine Fire Fighting (1st edition) to be an invaluable resource in accomplishing their goals. In general, the text addresses the shipboard fire fighting requirements of various maritime regulatory organizations such as U.S. Coast Guard, Canadian Coast Guard, and International Maritime Organization. More specifically, it provides a resource to the mariner for use when attending courses required by regulations in fire fighting and safety, for self-study, and when instructing others during training and drills. The content covers all aspects of fire prevention and suppression on board, whether a vessel is sailing in deep sea, coastal, or inland waters or whether a mariner is in the merchant service, naval service or coast guard. Vessel personnel must provide their own fire, police, and ambulance services.
