Puget Sound Marine Firefighting Commission was established to link local marine interests in the state of Washington in a single forum and to act collectively on behalf of those interests to include the following functions:

• Provide a proactive forum to identify and implement actions that efficiently leverage existing private and public resources to enhance the regional marine firefighting capability;

• Act as an education and resource network through which ideas, materials, and procedures can be provided to marine firefighting stakeholders;   

• Provide a forum that seeks to improve understanding and measurement of marine firefighting risks and the capabilities needed to appropriately mitigate those risks; and  

• Seek grants and other opportunities to address regional capability needs in concert with all applicable international and federal regulatory regimes to include such things as training, planning and other similar activities.
