LPG Awareness for Firefighters

It’s Time for P•T•I Course 911-01

  • Because companies in the propane industry are dedicated to supporting their communities and local fire services...
  • Because firefighters need the latest information about propane and other liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) in order to assess risks, maintain public safety, and protect lives and property...
  • Because trainers need a consistent, easy-to-use package to help firefighters gain this new knowledge...

For all of these reasons, the Propane Training Institute (P•T•I), the training division of the Propane Gas Association of Canada, is proud to offer its new, specialized training course for Canada’s firefighters: 911-01 LPG Awareness for Firefighters.

Why Is This Course Needed?

For many years, firefighters and the propane industry have benefitted from a strong relationship. Firefighters look to the industry for the latest information to better assess and deal with incidents involving propane, a decided advantage in their professional development. In turn, the propane industry benefits from better handling of safety incidents, public sharing of accurate information about our products, and closer ties to our communities.

As this mutually rewarding relationship has grown and matured, P•T•I has often been asked to develop a more formal learning tool for first responders. Written by propane industry and LPG emergency response experts, and tested with the assistance of the Calgary Fire Department, 911-01 LPG Awareness for Firefighters will not only help first responders to do their jobs with increased effectiveness and safety, it will help the propane industry maintain its traditional strong role of contributing to safer communities.
