D. Training Opportunities
1. New Online, Self-Study Course at The National Fire Academy
The National Fire Academy released a new, on-line, self-study course Introduction to Energy Systems (ESS) (course code Q0757). Many of the modern devices used daily rely on some type of electrical source to power their operation. Many device manufacturers are using batteries to allow mobility and function without connection to the electrical power grid. In this course, you will learn to recognize energy storage system (ESS) concepts and principles so you can analyze the hazards involved with ESS incidents.
