Back in April, fire chiefs on the Treasure Coast sent a letter to the governor, concerned over the lack of training to prepare for materials transported on their railways.
On Wednesday, they got a crash course on the hazards they could potentially face.

“These are giant generators rolling down the rails,” says Captain Daniel Mikels with St. Lucie County Fire District. “So, there's lots of hazards and lots of unknowns that go with these things.”
