The Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) is sponsoring the 5th Land-Based Marine Firefighting Symposium in Valdez, Alaska May 5-7, 2008. Through this program, 50-75 firefighters and responders from Prince William Sound and other Alaska coastal communities are provided hands-on classroom and field training opportunities that are tailored for the challenges faced in Alaska. Through funding provided by PWSRCAC and a grant from the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, coupled with various sponsorships for meals, books and in-kind contributions, this unique training opportunity is offered at no cost to the many fire departments that choose to participate.
