Training Night Recap 🚒

A big thank you to Dan and Rob with National Education Center for Agricultural Safety for leading last night’s training on anhydrous ammonia.

Members learned about the hazards associated with anhydrous ammonia and nurse tanks, along with proper emergency response for incidents involving fires, leaks/spills, and chemical burns.

The hands-on portion utilized a state-of-the-art anhydrous ammonia training trailer, where participants worked through several evolutions simulating real-world emergency response to an ammonia release.

Great training and even better experience for our crew!
