pens when a buried gas line is hit.
Called Mock Line Strikes/Pipeline
Response, (diggingtexas811.com)
these scenarios include local first
responders illustrating through
live action (an air pressurized
mock gas line) what happens when
the unthinkable occurs.
"Striking a natural gas line is not
something anyone wants to take
lightly," said Mark Allen, Enertech
president. "Should it happen, you
literally have only seconds to make
decisions that could save your
life. As partners in safety, pipeline
companies value the unique skills
and expertise of the emergency
responders. Working through this
scenario, we all gain hands-on experience and learn from each other
in the process."
But the key, of course, is never
being faced with an emergency -
because someone didn't make the
free call to 811.
