Abstract
Work on board vessels or in port facilities creates the need for officers and crews assigned to firefighting teams to have the necessary training to deal with situations of extreme fire behavior. Most of the possible scenarios, in which a fire can be unleashed onboard, are in confined spaces. The current training that the STCW 2010 establishes for any crewmember is the IMO Course 1.20 of Fire Prevention and Fighting and for the officers and controls the IMO 2.03 course of Advanced Firefighting. These courses of sufficiency, at present, do not suppose the acquisition of knowledge or minimum skills to extinguish fires in confined spaces. The training has generalist contents; it tries to cover many topics in a short space of time. This paper analyzes the circumstances of learning and defines a module of specialization on fires in confined spaces to be able to face this emergency.
