Anyone who has recently driven in Ontario, especially through rural areas, has probably noticed solar panels popping up everywhere. And while it is exciting to see so many new solar energy projects being developed, it also means new technologies and power sources that firefighters have to be aware of in case of emergency.
That’s why SolPowered has teamed up with a firefighter and safety training officer to create Ontario’s first Firefighter Solar Power Safety Training course. Developed specifically for Ontario firefighters, this 3-hour course teaches everything from explaining the components of a solar energy system to how to respond to a building with solar panels. Make sure your firefighters are prepared by bringing a training course to your region or municipality today.
