understand what's going on the mines and
they understand there's emergency
response if that comes up or events
they're ready to respond and these are
the guys are ready to go into the
burning fire they can do the work they
need to without this training without
these skills that they develop by the
training you can most of them go well
above and beyond
I've had include things that they might
see if they were to enter a mine during
a real emergency we're a sponsor here
plus we have judges and our people are
here trying to help these men holder
skills it also gives the chance for some
camaraderie between the teams they work
together if you have a disaster we'll be
working together then so so now it gives
them a chance to see how these because
it worked or we're all going to be
together if there's any kind of a more
actual emergency event like I don't make
sure that whatever they're doing is done
safely as possible and we'll provide
that extra layer of protection anytime
with them
