The Nebraska seminar will be held on Saturday in Norfolk, from 9 a.m.–2 p.m. CT, at the Lifelong Learning Center, Rooms C & D. The seminar will be held with help from an Assistance for Local Emergency Response Training (ALERT) grant.
Additionally, there will be two seminars held in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, on Aug. 30, from 9 a.m.–2 p.m. ET and from 5:30–10 p.m. ET. The event, held at the Connecticut Fire Academy, will be held with a grant from TRANSCAER and the Federal Railroad Administration.
“Safety is our number one goal, and these ethanol seminars provide excellent training for first responders and others who wants to attend,” said Steve Kramer, interim fire coordinator at Western Tech in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. “As a previous ethanol safety seminar attendee, these events are well worth the time.”
