“Freedom CNG holds Awareness Training for Local First Responders”
 
Midland, Texas- On April 19-20, Freedom CNG held a series of free natural gas vehicle and station awareness trainings for Permian Basin First Responders.  Additional key sponsors included the West Texas Energy Consortium, Atmos Energy, Texas 811, and the Permian Basin MPO. 
Nearly 100 attendees from Midland Fire Department, Midland County Sheriff, and Texas Department of Transportation attended the training.
Attendees learned about compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and stations, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and pipeline damage prevention.  The 4-hour training included classroom instruction, a CNG vehicle refueling demonstration, and a station tour at Freedom CNG’s station, located at 7400 CR 116 in Midland, Texas.
Eddie Murray, Freedom CNG, notes “More than 9,500 CNG vehicles are traveling our Texas highways.  With more vehicles, there are more stations and a greater need for education.”  Murray continues “We want first responders to be familiar with our station and the different types of natural gas vehicles traveling the roads.  These awareness trainings are not only good for the first responders but for our community.”
