Julius Shittu was one of our STCW students recently. He sent us an email regarding an incident and by the sounds of things his Fire Fighting course paid off big time. Julius tells his story: I must say, I enjoyed the STCW course at PYT. Recently, I was face to face with a fire accident in church. Luckily I could tap from the vast knowledge Pete gave us during the Fire Fighting Course. I knew exactly what to do. I knew the class of fire and how to stop the blaze. I am so glad that I could prevent 35 cars from being burnt. Please forward this mail to Pete, tell him I was the only Nigerian in class, he knows me well. Thanks Julius for sharing your story. PYT
