The Federal Emergency Management Agency in the Department of Homeland Security awarded the Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen’s Association (CVVFA) a Fire Prevention and Safety Grant to establish a Responder Safety Learning Network. The network will reach thousands of roadway responders with life safety training to protect them while helping others at highway incidents. The CVVFA is the parent organization of the Emergency Responder Safety Institute that operates ResponderSafety.com

The internet based system will be available at no cost to students. The network will have the ability to maintain secure training records, provide testing as well as having webinar capabilities. Stonehouse Media Incorporated of Lambertville NJ, the firm that powers www.respondersafety.com and produced several of our videos will build the system and provide program production.

Under the direction of our team of experts the CVVFA will invite the leading professionals in Traffic Incident Management to participate in developing the various offerings.

Chief Greg Yost CVVFA President said “We thank all those who helped make this grant a reality. The learning network will allow us to train thousands upon thousands of responders”. Yost who was a victim of a “struck by” incident several years ago added, “Perhaps if I had the training back then that accident might never have happened”.
