Fire Training for grain handling facilities

Does anyone out there know of any training facilities that are teaching fire fighting tactics for use at grain handling faciities. I work for a large grain handling company and am looking for some specific training for our ERT.

Thanks

Alan Cannon, Safety Coordinator

The Anderson's in Ohio has a guy that does classes and will come to your site. Our County TRT had him up here in Michigan this spring and he did a great job. Hope it helps!
