Adair Fire and Rescue has scheduled a DOT approved Traffic Incident Management (TIM) class for area Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, Dispatch, Public Works and Towing Company officials. The program covers multiple aspects of training in response to traffic accidents, and is designed to reduce the risk of injuries and fatalities to those emergency personnel who are on the scene by providing safer and more effective techniques of traffic control as well as additional accidents.

In addition to the goal of keeping emergency responders safe, the TIM program will demonstrate ways to keep traffic from backing-up, reducing incident clearance times and secondary crashes, fewer insurance claims, and additional cost savings.

The program is supported by: The International Association of Chiefs of Police; International Association of Fire Chiefs; The National Volunteer Fire Council; American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and the Towing and Recovery Association of America.

The TIM program will be held 1-p.m. August 2oth, at the Adair Community Center, in Adair. Reservations are requested by August 12th. Call or text Adair Fire Chief Jordan Smith at 641-745-5254, or e-mail smithjorden@hotmail.com.
