PROPANE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINING
Propane Incident Management Training also known as Propane Emergencies Training is designed for firefighters, emergency responders, and the propane industry. The Propane Council of Texas hosts the training annually at Texas A & M University’s TEEX Brayton Training Field in College Station, TX, the world’s largest liquid-fueled live fire training facility.
Held nearly annually, our next Propane Emergencies Training Course was on September 26-27, 2022.
