The South Carolina Fire Academy Online Learning Community (SCFAOLC) announces the release of a new awareness-level course for all responders: Emergency Response to Highway Incidents. The course will be available Friday, Sept. 20. Developed in cooperation with the S.C. Department of Transportation, the Columbia Fire Department, and the S.C. State Firefighters’ Association, this free four-hour course is dedicated to Columbia Firefighter Chance Zobel, who lost his life while working at fire incident alongside a highway. Course topics include temporary traffic control measures, arriving and working safely on the scene, and the National Unified Goal.
