NFPA®, NAFTD, U.S. Department of Energy, and Vector Solutions Team Up to Help Fire Departments Stay Ahead of Emerging Hazards
As more distributed energy resources are deployed nationwide, the fire service needs to be properly prepared to manage them safely and effectively.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the U.S. Department of Energy, and Vector Solutions, in coordination with the North American Fire Training Directors (NAFTD), are honored to provide free resources for all fire departments across the United States to guide fire personnel through a walkthrough learning exercise for extinguishing fires with Distributed Energy Resources (DER).
This walkthrough is the second part in a series designed to prepare firefighters to improve response times and effectiveness in battling DER fires, ultimately enhancing public safety. While the first part of that effort focused on classroom training materials and an interactive, game-like simulated training for responding to battery energy storage and electric vehicle fires (see press release here), the second phase of the series addresses mitigation training for a field evolutions approach of DER.
