Aug. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Paraco Gas, one of the largest propane companies in the United States, co-sponsored a propane emergency response training held last week in Bridgeton, New Jersey.

Partnering with Papco, a propane transportation company, Paraco Gas Safety Director Michael DiGiorgio demonstrated proper techniques for handling propane emergencies. Lessons on emergency preparedness, fire safety analysis, and pre-fire planning were also covered.

The three-day training began on August 23 and was completed on August 25. The event was held at the Papco facility in Bridgeton. Firefighters and emergency response teams from the area were in attendance.

DiGiorgio expressed appreciation for Papco's support and willingness to give back to the community.
