[Psml] Flare and Fire Extinquisher practice

[Dianne Greene]

For the past few years, Bellevue Sail & Power and Agate Pass squadrons have
held flare and fire extinguisher practices at a joint rendezvous in April.
For the flare activities, we always notify the local authorities and Coast
Guard about when and where this hands-on practice takes place.  It is
conducted on the marina dock, over the water.  For the fire extinguisher
practice, representative(s) from the local fire department have come to the
marina to conduct the hands-on learning.  It has been very successful.  This
last April, the fire extinguisher session met the requirements for BOC
certification.

Our squadron would like to set up a Flare shoot and fire extinguisher
practice session for our members to gain some hands on experience with these
safety devices using expired flares.  We understand that these type events
have taken place elsewhere in the country and would appreciate hearing about
the process to get permissions from the appropriate agencies to do the
practice.  Also the flare manufacturer representatives to contact for
assistance with such an event.
