What kind of training is out there for marine firefighting?

I was the marine firefighting coordinator for the USCG Marine Safety Unit Cleveland, OH for about 4 years and could only find one organization that could provide the quality of training we needed for the firefighters of Northeastern Ohio. I HIGHLY recommend the Marine Firefighting Institute (www.marinefirefighting.com). I know Tom Guldner personally, and he is a great guy as well as a highly motivated instructor and expert in the field. His classes on Shipboard Firefighting, Tow Boat and Barge Fires, and Small Boat and Marina Fires were very well recieved by the firefighters and officers of the fire depts in NE Ohio (Cleveland, Ashtabula, Lorain, Conneaut, etc).

Does anyone know of any other classes out there? I'm no longer in the Coast Guard, but I am still interested in getting training and keeping up to date.
