Today we welcomed first responders from several local fire departments, including Avalon and Pace, to our asphalt plant for a day of industrial site training.
We offer this training because first responders need to know sites like ours before an emergency ever happens. Our crews work around hot mix asphalt at more than 300°F, heated liquid asphalt tanks, fuel, tall silos, conveyors, and heavy equipment. The better responders understand these hazards ahead of time, the better they can protect everyone in our community when it matters most.
Our Plant Manager, Sal, did an excellent job walking the crews through the whole operation. He covered the key hazards, access points and shutoffs, and the challenges first responders could face during an emergency at a plant like ours. The crews also ran aerial ladder training right at the silos.
Thank you to every firefighter who came out to train with us, and thank you to Sal for leading a great day. We’re proud to support the people who keep our community safe.
