FEBRUARY 15, 2009/DALLAS / FORT WORTH - A joint fire training exercise was held on Sunday, February 15, 2009 at the Dallas Fort Worth Rail Terminal in Arlington, Texas.

The Dallas Fort Worth Rail Terminal offloads over 7,000 tank railcars annually of bulk liquid ethanol for use in gasoline blending. “This system at our Dallas Ft Worth Rail Terminal is highly advanced and the training represented a time where we could host the fire department that would respond, should there be a need, at the rail terminal” said Ron Percival, Health, Safety and Environmental Manager for the Dallas Fort Worth Rail Terminal. “We take pride in our people and our dedication to safety. This was an opportunity to give our emergency responders firsthand experience on this system”.
