This course outlines the skills necessary to recognize the severity of incidents involving rolling stock used in rail surface transportation, contact the proper personnel with the railroads, and work seamlessly with the private sector employees and contractors that may be dispatched. These skills will be generated via education on railroad personnel, proper safety procedures for working on and around railroad property, an overview of the different types of rolling stock and the risks associated with them, the various markings and reference materials necessary to ascertain the contents of a rail car, and general overview of the different types of damage commonly incurred during a derailment. The comprehension of these subjects will allow the participant to rapidly analyze the severity of an incident and notify the appropriate people so that any specialized equipment can be dispatched as quickly as possible.

Automotive - 1st Floor North Wing

Acquired through an Assistance to Firefighters Grant, the Mobile Driving Simulation Lab system is a training resource that is integrated into a driver skills and judgement training curriculum. It provides a bridge between classroom-delivered instruction and actual operation of a motor vehicle on a prepared course or public roadway. A driver can experience the consequences of making decisions based upon incomplete information. Drivers can practice making decisions in simulated life and death situations similar to those actually encountered on the road that would be too dangerous to perform in the real world. This course will include a lecture and then hands-on portion
