Webinar – Beyond the Hydrant: The Untapped Urgency of Pipeline Emergency Response Training
September 30 @ 2pm ET
Presenters: David Bullard and John Holtan
Pipelines run through thousands of U.S. communities, yet many volunteer fire departments are not adequately trained on how to respond should a pipeline incident occur. Join the NVFC for this webinar to learn the critical reasons why comprehensive pipeline emergency response training is essential for every responder. We’ll explore the unique risks and challenges associated with pipeline incidents, why traditional training isn’t effective, and how proper training and access to information are critical factors in ensuring responder and public safety.
