Emergency Training
To ensure the safety of emergency first responders and the general public, Firelands Electric offers training focused on working safely around power lines and the electric system when responding to emergencies. This is especially important around downed power lines, since they can still be energized. The cooperative’s safety program is designed to help emergency responders work safely in their jobs as they encounter electrical dangers involving vehicle accidents, fallen trees, or other rescue and emergency situations near the electric system. Attendees usually include local police, fire, EMT, utility personnel and Life Flight.
