Rio Hondo, Texas­ – On Thursday, January 17, 2019, Cameron Wind and Apex Clean Energy will host local emergency responders at the wind farm for an Air Evac training session. Dozens of first responders will attend the proactive training, which demystifies wind farm operations, builds crucial relationships between wind farm employees and local responders, and trains responders on reacting to potential incidents on a wind farm.

During the first portion of the training, representatives from Cameron Wind and Apex Clean Energy will review the intricacies of how a wind farm operates, potential scenarios one could encounter on-site, and Apex policies and procedures established to prevent hazardous incidents. After the classroom training, attendees will practice setting up a landing zone and will complete the evacuation drill with an Air Evac helicopter landing on-site.

“These drills are a vital part of our proactive training program here at Cameron Wind, but possibly even more important are the relationships formed during training,” said Cody Joy, Apex Clean Energy facility manager. “Building these personal and professional relationships is integral to creating a safe community and workplace.”
