Ketchikan, Alaska - The Maritime Class at Ketchikan High School recently completed a fire extinguisher course with Ketchikan Fire Department Fire Fighter Greg Karlik. According to Maritime teacher Rick Collins, the students had completed a fire and safety unit earlier in the school year.

This past week Karlik spent one day in the classroom with the students said teacher Rick Collins. The classroom session with Karlik was followed up with an afternoon at the fire station. Collins said Karlik generously spent two of his off duty days with us. The Ketchikan Maritime Class is very appreciative the time Greg Karlik spent with us said Collins.

Collins said, "It is very important for mariners to know how to put out fires because calling the fire department may not be an option when you are out on the water.
