TRAINING TO STAY SAFE ON THE JOB

As emergency responders, staying safe on the job is our number one priority. With our mission to “Protect Life and Property through efficient delivery of quality community services”, the safety of our personnel is critical to perform our job at the highest level for our citizens and community.

This week we have had the opportunity to train and learn from the experts at Sustainable Workplace Alliance along with Flyers Fuel Transport, learning about fuel tanker rollover incidents and how to properly assess, respond to, and mitigate these types of incidents. This hands-on instruction is an effective way to inform personnel about safety and unique compliance needs related to these types of incidents. The technical knowledge and hands-on learning structure provide a comprehensive platform that will help to guide and protect our first responders on a daily basis.

We are also happy to have some of our neighboring fire districts, North Tahoe Fire, Northstar Fire, and Truckee Fire, join us for this important training.
