The Marseilles marine firefighters battalion is authorised to provide, for the benefit of its personnel and that of other defence formations, instruction relating to the prevention and fighting of fires and perils of all kinds.
As such, it is approved as a training organisation by decrees of the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Defence.
These decrees specify the responsibilities of the commander of the Marseille marine fire brigade and determine how training is organised and monitored.
The marine firefighters battalion may also organise specific training or courses approved and sanctioned on behalf of the authorities to which they report for the benefit of personnel who are not firefighters.
As part of the national training scheme for professional and volunteer firefighters, the civil defence and security directorate may entrust the marine firefighters battalion with the organisation of training and instruction in areas where the battalion’s experience has been recognised.
