ARITIME FIRE & SAFETY ASSOCIATION
Due to surging COVID-19 cases and the extreme contagious nature of the current variant, the Maritime Fire & Safety Association (MFSA) has decided to cancel its Annual Meeting luncheon. Instead, a remote-only member business meeting held on Wednesday, January 26, 2022. MFSA Members received invitations with information on how to log on to the meeting. Hopefully, we’ll see you all in person next year!!

The Maritime Fire & Safety Association’s Vessel Response Plan (Plan) has once again received full approval from Washington and Oregon. The Plan is an umbrella plan that provides an economical way for commercial vessels calling on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers to meet the state requirements for both states. This plan approval is good for five years.
One of the most critical components of MFSA/FPAAC is the periodic training of marine firefighting personnel that is offered to its member agencies. The FPAAC Training Program consists of the following elements: 1. Awareness Level Training 2. Operations Level Training 3. Technician Level Training 4. Marine Fire Command Level Exercises
