    Federal fire services, qualified Nigerian seamen should be incorperated in the search and Rescue as organised by Nigerian Maritime Addministration and safety Agency.
    Fire service men are trained to fight fire, while Seamen also have similar training and how best to rescue ship in distress. This can also be applicable in aviation industry.
