TRAINING

The recent HAZMAT incident on I-40 is an example of just how fast emergencies can happen

and require the opening of shelters.  We will be working very closely with the Red Cross in an

effort to provide timely and quality communications whenever shelters are opened.

First Aid and CPR training is important for all of us.  These courses are now available

"On-Line" and can be completed at on your own schedule and at your own pace.

Another FCC License Class was conducted at TTC over the last few weeks.

A fine group of students worked hard to prepare for their exams.

Congratulations to all of the new licensees!
