The Oregon State Fire Marshal is excited to offer another round of training on risk- based response to battery emergencies.

This 8-hour course includes classroom and hands-on training to prepare responders to conduct risk-based response to battery emergencies for multiple types of batteries, including Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion). The course covers batteries found in transportation, including passenger vehicles, ground transport, air and sea shipping, as well as residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

It is recommended that all participants be trained to the HAZMAT operations level or higher prior to the class.

These classes are provided through a partnership with the hosting agencies. Classes are limited to 30.
