To help the fire service handle the unique challenges presented by these new renewable energy technologies, NFPA has developed Energy Storage and Solar Systems Safety Training, Fire Service Edition*. The enhanced three-hour module uses engaging videos, animations, simulations, and review exercises to inform firefighters about basic electrical theory, types of PV installations, battery chemistries, pre-incident planning, and response strategies. Fire leaders and training personnel are encouraged to educate themselves and others on ESS failure modes, pre-incident planning, shutdown, ventilation, and other emergency response considerations. |
