Never Forgotten
Battalion Drill on Response to Solar Farms
Email Print RSS Facebook Twitter RSS

By Past Chief Ivan Browning
April 1, 2023

Members of the MAVFC joined personnel from Winfield VFD and Sykesville VFC this morning for the monthly Battalion 3 training to review the equipment and response procedures to a solar farm emergency. Standard Solar owns a 1 megawatt solar farm facility located at Mayeski Park in Winfield. Personnel from Standard Solar were able to explain the processes involved in collecting solar energy and sending it to local utility providers. They also reviewed safety features and answered firefighter questions on how we can safely operate if there is a fire or medical/rescue emergency at the site. Fire departments across the country are routinely required to respond and mitigate “all-hazard” emergencies and this is another example of how Carroll County firefighters are staying ahead.

Many thanks to Winfield VFC and Standard Solar for setting up this training opportunity.
