NOVFA Fire School 2023

This class will cover emergencies involving highway fuel tankers. The course will cover
the design and construction, operational overview and safety features of a DOT 406
fuel transport vehicle which will be on-site. The course content will include foam
application rates & proportioning, foam operations, firefighting tactics and the decision-
making process when responding to a fuel transport incident. Leak control, spill response
and product transfer operations from a damaged transport will be covered by a local
OSRO (Oil Spill Response Organization) during the course. This course is designed to
provide demonstrations to the students. No live firefighting will be involved.

This course is designed for emergency response personnel who are expected to take an
offensive role in containing/confining spills that occur on roadways, in drainage systems,
on the ground and in navigable waterways.

Using techniques presented in this session, participants will demonstrate the ability to
consistently collect representative samples that can be used for analysis or evidentiary
purposes.

Key Topics include: Classification, identification and verification of known and unknown
materials. Providing support to responders by running computer-generated models to
predict potential hazards. Conduct analysis and suitability of PPE, metering equipment
and Decon. Identify CBRNE and hazmat response.

This class is being featured at FDIC this April, so Don't Miss This One!
