SUMMARY:Rail Car Incident Response for Crude\, Ethanol & Other Flammable Li
 quids
DESCRIPTION:The All Hazards Training Center at The University of Findlay ha
 s developed the Rail Car Incident Response for Crude\, Ethanol\, and Other
  Flammable Liquids training course for the U.S. Department of Transportati
 on Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (DOT PHMSA) to e
 ducate emergency responders on freight rail car incidents involving hazard
 ous materials\, specifically crude oil\, ethanol\, and other flammable liq
 uids. As more and more rail traffic transports cargo\, including hazardous
  materials\, it is important that the responder community become educated 
 about the dangers and unique hazards presented with rail cars carrying the
 se commodities. The information covered in this FREE training course will 
 enhance the ability of emergency responders to assess the scene of a rail 
 car incident\, understand the resources needed to remediate the emergency 
 situation\, including how the railroad will play a critical role in the re
 sponse. Hands-on scenarios using a rail car simulator are conducted to emp
 hasize the objectives of the training including:\n\n 	Identifying the desi
 gn\, construction\, components and markings of rail tank cars that carry c
 rude/flammable liquids\n 	Recognizing and identifying the chemical being t
 ransported\, and the properties that must be considered in an emergency\n 
 	Assessing the scene to determine the potential hazards to people\, proper
 ty\, and the environment\n 	Recognizing mitigation strategies including of
 fensive\, defensive\, and non-intervention strategies for fire and/or spil
 l incidents. This is not a tactics course but rather focuses on strategy a
 nd decision making.\n 	Identifying key resources in the rail/freight indus
 try as well as federal\, state\, and private resources for response assist
 ance\n\n \n\nDate: April 1\, 2023\n\nLocation: Valley Fire &amp\; Rescue\
