<strong>The most current and up-to-date handbook on the equipment, procedures, and techniques to fight maritime fires on any size of vessel.</strong><br/><br/> Mixing the old with the new, this new text on maritime firefighting presents the reader with valuable and current information. <br/><br/> For too long, mariners have been using outdated books to train on and relying on one-to-three-day refresher courses that barely scratch the surface of the true scope of the hazards of shipboard fires. <br/><br/> Contained herein is the culmination of years of research and industry collaboration to provide a fresh look at an old subject. <br/><br/> The threat of shipboard fires has not gone anywhere, but how we fight and prepare for them has.
