SAFETY TRAINING: Trans-Bridge Lines Inc. recently opened its facility to the Woodlawn/South Whitehall Engine 32 Fire Department for a comprehensive training session on bus emergency management.

Firefighters participated in the hands-on training, which was designed to provide essential knowledge and practical experience in managing potential emergencies involving motor coaches. The session included detailed walk-throughs of two types of bus models, instruction on emergency exits and mechanical systems, and simulations of potential rescue scenarios. The training was conducted by Trans-Bridge Lines’ Training Manager, Brendan Stanczyk.

Firefighters had the opportunity to explore the interior and exterior features of the buses, including emergency window exits, roof hatches, and battery disconnect systems. Trans-Bridge Lines staff were on hand to explain key systems and answer questions about typical challenges that may arise during an emergency.

The training is part of a broader effort by Trans-Bridge Lines to strengthen partnerships with local emergency services and raise awareness about bus safety.
