Tactics, Challenges And Hazards At Marina Incidents & Fires

Every agency near any sizeable body of water more than likely has at least one marina in their response area. High life hazard, high dollar value damages and an increasing frequency of incidents combine to present a growing problem. The during / post covid timeframe to present has seen a rapid rise in the marine / boating industry. As a result, marina related incidents are increasing in frequency and severity. This class will focus on the tactical considerations and challenges of managing incidents at marina’s whether on land or water, summer or winter. Challenges such as long stretches down 400-800ft docks, multiple vessels on fire at dock and adrift, boating accidents, incidents with multiple victims in the water (mci), and much more. Also discussed are the hazards to firefighters, ems and other responders when operating at these incidents. As well as actions responders can take to mitigate risk while operating in this often overlooked, yet austere environment.

Battery fires are on the rise — and evolving fast. This classroom and demo session focuses on the Big 3: electric vehicles, residential energy storage systems, and mobile battery devices. Stay ahead with the latest tactics, suppression strategies, and safety protocols.
