Brian as far as ethanol fires....you may want to get some people in the "Flammable and Combustable liquids course"...If you contact Volney Fire Department they will have everything that you might need for resources....they had a plant put in their district and the company went to their Chief and told him to spec out an engine...they actually bought it for them.......(wow)

Brian...you may want to do a little research on ethanol.....its nasty shit....about the only thing to put it out (if you can't let it burn) is ARAFFF....and for a supertanker (12000 gallons) it would take about 1500 gallons of the concentrate....now you can't run it through your pump on your truck so you would probably need eductors and need to train in the use if haven't used in awhile...and lots and lots of mutual aid......best bet would be to contact Dept of Natural Resources or Coast Guard if something happens....they show up quickly and have big check books....there is a company that operates 24 hours a day that has supplies on hand in Penn....they can get you what you might need in a hurry...also get out to the plant and do a great (not good) preplan...see what resources they have on hand....many times they have their own Fire Brigade that can be a great resource....again strongly recommend the combustable/flammable liquids course...it might save your ass......Good luck............Paul....PS I have my book from the class if you would like to borrow it (Just please return it when you are done)....Paul

The plant should have thre own fire dept. Your dept needs to contact the plant and have meeting with your officers. Find out about there emergency guidlines, training, etc. Also set up training between your dept and there in house dept. You also need to find out if they will donate anything to your dept. Many times a large plant will give the local dept/s. in there area equipment,gear,training etc. This helps them insure the dept that will be respond is well prepaired to take care of there plant.

If your area is anything like ours they will offer them tax abatements ranging from 5-20 years just to get them to build and create jobs. With them not paying taxes for any period of time can create a drain on the local taxpayers! We had an ethanol plant start construction in our district so our city offered them tax abatements with the stipulation that they will pay a set fee for fire protection every year including after they start paying taxes of which they were more than happy to do. Some area residents unfortunately felt they needed to file multiple lawsuits to stop construction. Ultimately the lawsuits went in favor of the ethanol plant but construction was delayed for so long that they haven't resumed work in over 2 years, but they are still paying the fire protection fees!
