The Organization
TMSA was formed as the Delaware River and Bay Marine Fire Fighting Task Force in 1980, a volunteer organization to address regional marine fire fighting issues.
In 1998, the U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port, Philadelphia met with the Directors of Emergency Management of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania to propose the formation of a permanent home to the Marine Fire Fighting Task Force. Together they formulated a plan and wrote the Charter of TMSA.
In 1999, TMSA incorporated as a non-profit in NJ, PA, & DE, combining the MFFTF and Tri-state Search And Rescue to address Maritime Safety within our ports.
TMSA has since become a national leader in addressing Maritime Consequence Management issues. TMSA membership includes local responders with waterfront jurisdiction, commercial waterfront facilities, vessel operators, port authorities, shipyards, tug & barge operators, maritime industry, specialized response equipment distributors, and appropriate federal & state agencies. In addition to the planning role, select members of the Maritime Incident Response Team (MIRT) respond to incidents to provide technical expertise to local responders to help mitigate incidents

| VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
TMSA is primarily supported by our volunteer members. We have a very limited staff to manage daily administration and rely on our membership to support our training, exercise, planning and operational needs. We need a large variety of motivated instructors, firefighters, maritime personnel, maritime specialists, and many others to successfully this critical regional organziation. Contact us by phone or email below if you are interested in supporting your maritime first responder community and our ports.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
The MIRTeam is always looking for certain types of used equipment that many departments no longer need. A primary example are old ladder pipes and Stang guns that can be retrofited by our team to be utilzed on board vessels as master streams. If you have any old equipment you wish to donate, contact us today!
