TEEX - Fire and Emergency Services

Where in the world is TEEX HazMat? This week, we were in El Dorado, KS, at the HF Sinclair refinery. They had 11 ERT members working hard for their HazMat Technician Pro-Board certification. There were some weather delays, but the students powered through. HF Sinclair will be well protected.

TEEX is proud to be the first training provider to offer an approved Pro Board NFPA 1010 Land-Based Marine Firefighter certification course!

Developed to address a nationally recognized training need identified following a National Transportation Safety Board recommendation, this program equips firefighters and emergency responders with the specialized knowledge and practical skills needed for vessel, port, and waterfront incidents. From fire departments and industrial brigades to ports and maritime facilities, this training supports those responsible for protecting critical maritime infrastructure, industrial operations, and the communities they serve.

The first course begins June 22. Click the link in our bio or visit https://teex.org/class/mar006/ today!

From the photographer: Despite stormy weather throughout the week, TEEX Brayton Fire Training Field® instructors continued to teach new lifesaving skills and allowed students the chance to hone existing know-how. Here’s a look at just some of the training, including Fire Academy Class 171 students with portable extinguishers.

Congratulations to EMT Class No. 100-007! The graduation ceremony begins today at 11 AM CST and can be live streamed at teex.org/graduation or link in bio.

Today, we stand in remembrance of the fallen heroes whose courage and sacrifice continue to inspire generations. We honor their service and legacy this Memorial Day.

From the photographer: Good thing we no longer rely on film cameras, since thousands of shots were taken this week. Fire Academy Class 171 Academy students served as “patients” for the FAA-required full-scale emergency exercise at Easterwood Airport. Last weekend, Brayton Fire Training Field hosted a proof-of-concept exercise with Saudi Aramco/Motiva, demonstrating how the Boston Dynamics quadruped robot, “Spot,” could safely operate in emergency situations too dangerous for firefighters.

To the EMS professionals who step into chaos with skill, compassion, and calm, thank you for the care you provide and the lives you impact every single day. Your commitment, resilience, and care make a lasting impact on the communities you serve.

Future firefighters and EMS professionals got the chance to meet departments, ask questions, make connections, and get a closer look at where this career can take them at the first TEEX Fire & EMS Career Day of the year. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it a great day!

If you missed this one, keep an eye out for another Career Day later this year.

From the photographer: Smoke. Heat. Pressure. Precision.

This week at Brayton Fire Training Field, Fire Academy Class 171, offshore platform firefighters, and industrial response teams sharpened the skills that save lives and protect industries every day.

Training hard so they’re ready when it counts.
