Fire can be deadly, especially on a boat where you can’t escape or call for help. Seafarers must know how to deal with fires aboard their vessels, which is why they take fire management courses as part of required STCW training. Resolve Academy in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., offers the STCW Basic Safety Training course in addition to the advanced firefighting course and revalidation course.
