“The hands-on training at our firefighter workshops provides real-time learning
experiences and opportunities for firefighters to enhance their skills and knowl- edge,” states Ron Grosjean, OOGEEP Board Member and Firefighter Committee Chair. “We greatly appreciate all of the firefighters who have participated in these workshops.”
“As a Fire Chief serving a community surrounded by oil and gas operations, and as a fire instructor with the OOGEEP Training Program, these workshops provide a great opportunity to practice and learn needed skills related to potential flammable gas and liquid fires. All Ohio firefighters should consider taking this course,” adds Brent Gates, Fire Chief, New Concord, Ohio.
Upon successful completion of the workshop, each participant receives a certificate of attendance, an “Oilfield Emergency Response Training” patch, a special oilfield challenge coin, class photo, field guide, spill response kit, Class B Foam and many other materials. Participants also receive documentation for up to 12 CEU contact credit hours which must be approved by each department’s Fire Chief in accordance with State Fire Training regulations.
