K-State Poly launches fire and hazmat training course
The Salina Journal
Kansas State University Polytechnic announced it will offer a training course on unmanned aircraft systems for firefighters and hazardous materials personnel.
The four-day course will use K-State’s UAS technology, with the first course being Oct. 5-8 at Crisis City Training Center southwest of Salina. Working with Salina-area firefighters and our partners at Crisis City Training Center, we have created a course that offers a one-of-a-kind UAS training in which we can train students on fire, hazmat, and search and research scenarios, said Kenton Dreiling, assistant UAS flight operations manager at K-State Polytechnic. Students who take this course will understand how to best use an unmanned aircraft in a fire or hazmat situation with the overall mission to protect and save lives.
