Using my 30+ years’ experience working with and responding to propane issues we’ll discuss tried and true response practices and emerging technologies and tactics.  What is propane, what are the hazards, preplanning, response, and mitigation tactics that include: doing nothing, vapor dispersion, product control, product transfer, flaring and water injection.  The second half of the course is all practical evolutions, BRING YOUR GEAR and an SCBA if you participate in the hands on or come stand back and observe.
