NGW Preparedness and Response continued The Division has trained approximately 50 fire fighters and 12 fire inspectors in gas well specific safety and response. This training took place at a state-of-the-art fire training facility in Richmond, Texas (in the Houston area) by a leading Texas oil and gas well control and emergency response company. This training is used almost daily during our preplanning efforts, site compliance inspections, and during our emergency responses to unintentional gas releases (washouts), odor investigations, and other 911 calls for service at or near gas well sites.
