ABOUT THE TRAINING

While responding to oilfield emergencies is rare, it can be challenging. Join more than 1,500 Ohio firefighters (and departments from 7 other states) that have taken this training to learn common practices, references and standards used by the fire service and the natural gas and oil industry. 

The training program incorporates the following three (3) sections:

1) Interactive classroom presentations and special activities.
2) Hands-on fire behavior labs.
3) Opportunity to participate in a unique oilfield tour. (This will be coordinated on a separate date.)

This emergency response program provides insight into how natural gas and oil is explored, drilled, produced and transported, and the importance of establishing a unified command in the event of an emergency.

Upon completion of the training, each participant will receive a certificate of attendance, an “Oilfield Emergency Response Training” patch, challenge coin, class photo, field guide, Class B Foam and many other materials. (Reciprocating patches and challenge coins are greatly appreciated). Participants will also receive documentation for up to 12 CEU contact credit hours. These CEU credits must be approved by each department’s Fire Chief in accordance with State Fire Training regulations.

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS AND EQUPIMENT

The hands-on fire behavior labs takes place outdoors, and all attendees must have completed a minimum 36-hour Ohio Volunteer Firefighter Course, and are required to bring their own turnout gear and SCBA.
