GREAT LAKES, Ill. (April 7, 2026) An Instructor at the Damage Control Schoolhouse, Surface Warfare Engineering School Command Great Lakes, teaches new-accession Sailors how to man a firehose at the General Shipboard Firefighting (GSF) course onboard Naval Station Great Lakes. The two-day curriculum encompasses in-classroom lessons pertaining to fire chemistry, classes of fires (alpha, bravo, and charlie), fire party organization, portable extinguishers, protective equipment, and self-contained breathing apparatus during the first day. Second-day live firefighting trainer labs cover wild hose, hose handling, and firefighting procedures. GSF Great Lakes meets the U.S. Navy’s six-year Level I firefighting requirement, a training requirement for every Sailor stationed aboard a U.S. naval vessel. The school has qualified approximately 6,500 accession Sailors each year for the past six years. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Evan Mueller)
