What does readiness actually look like?
This weekend, we hosted our 23rd HazMat Liquid & CO₂ Pipeline and Industrial Fire Emergencies training with Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service - TEEX.
Here's the answer, by the numbers:
· 37 first responders trained this weekend
· 16 fire departments and agencies represented
· 16 hours of hands-on field training and classroom instruction
· 10 practical emergency response scenarios completed
Since 2018, over 800 first responders from across 9 states and 3 countries have completed these trainings, totaling over 350 hours of hands-on pipeline and CO₂ emergency response training.
Preparedness isn't a single weekend — it's a sustained commitment. We're proud to keep investing in the people who keep our communities safe. Thank you to all of our responders who participated this weekend!
