DESCRIPTION:Firefighters and emergency personnel are invited to join CCE Educators and Dan Neenan (Director of the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety), to learn critical information regarding the dangers of working around manure pits.

Firefighters will need to bring their bunker gear and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Each training session will include a lecture, hands-on experience working with a manure pit simulator, and then a farm tour.
