Last night, members of Laurel Fire Rescue had the opportunity to participate in a specialized railroad emergency response training with BNSF Railway.
Our crews received hands-on instruction covering rail operations, railcar identification, hazard awareness, emergency response procedures, and the unique challenges that come with incidents involving trains and railroad infrastructure. Training alongside BNSF personnel helps ensure we’re prepared to respond safely and effectively should an emergency ever occur on or near the railroad in our community.
A huge thank you to BNSF Railway for hosting this valuable training and for their continued partnership in helping keep our firefighters, first responders, and community safe.
We train today so we’re ready tomorrow.
