NASFM: Pipeline Emergencies Textbook Now Available Online

NASFM, working with a cooperative agreement from the Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), recently unveiled the new, second edition Pipeline Emergencies textbook. Attending the IAFC Hazardous Materials Response Conference in Baltimore, MD, PE 2 was introduced to more than 1,000 first responders. 
 
Once again, NASFM partnered with HazMat training specialists Mike Hildebrand and Greg Noll to develop this state-of-the-are curriculum. Mike Callan is currently updating the trainer’s Facilitator Guide to make it fully compatible with the new text. Emergency Film Group worked with Red Hat Publishing to embed video into the chapters and enhance the interactive training scenarios.
 
The completely updated text is now online in an e-book. Soon the trainer’s Facilitator Guide, full-length video, and all other program enhancements will be available. 

Visit the dedicated website (
www.pipelineemergencies.com) today to register and see the interactive format. 
 

For a CD copy of the book ($15) or a hard-copy ($30), contact NASFM or the PE program to place an order. Email your order to us at info@firemarshals.org.
