Taylor graduated from The University of Mississippi in 2019 with a B.A. in Public Policy and Legal studies.
This presentation should act as an introduction for the CBRNResponder, RadResponder, and ChemResponder networks.
Starting with a brief history of how the RadResponder network was started and how we use our federal partners to fund our network that is in place for state and local agencies to help with data collect, management, and sharing in all hazard events. Currently we have over 10,000 users from all over the United States.
This presentation will touch on many of the features that make up the CBRNResponder network, both the website and the mobile application, as well as giving the resources of how to find out more information on specific capabilities.
The data collect part of the presentation is for those users who would find themselves out in the field during an incident and the live demo is a brief example of how someone who is using the website would use the data collected to create a common operation picture and situational awareness for the response effort.

Conventional multiple gas detectors used for air monitoring at natural gas leaks requires the responder to work in the area of the leak to obtain a reading. This exposes the responder to be in proximity of a flammable atmosphere. The use of tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology allows the responder to assess natural leaks from a distance. This program will cover the operating principles, technology limitations, and tactical application of remote methane leak detection.

Lieutenant and HAZMAT Training Officer
Columbia County Fire Rescue, GA
David is a 22 year member of the fire service and currently serves as a Lieutenant and HAZMAT Training Officer with the Columbia County Fire Rescue (Ga.) and a part time Firefighter with Grovetown (Ga) DPS.
In addition, he serves on the Board of Directors for the Georgia State Firefighter's Association, National Volunteer Fire Council State Director, Georgia Pipeline Emergency Response Initiative Board of Directors, NFPA’s Working Group on Flammable Refrigerants, Alternate to NFPA 1021 and 1056 Committees, and was Secretary of IFSTA's Pumping Apparatus Driver Operator 3rd Edition Curriculum Committee, contributor to the “Training Officer’s Desk Reference”, and is a Safety and Health coordinator with HEPACO LLC.
As an active instructor for the Georgia Fire Academy with Firefighter Basics, David is constantly engaged with teaching live fire, leadership, HAZMAT, and Firefighter Survival/RIT classes.
Firefighter training typically lacks a significant amount of training on natural gas incidents.
The missing information can seem like voodoo until the firefighter is exposed to the concepts and proactive practices of natural gas leaks.
Being a high frequency event for fire response, the ability for a fire department crew or HazMat team to play a significant role in preventing a catastrophic event is huge.
This course will use case studies, scenarios, and interactive discussion to enhance response and mitigation of natural gas emergencies.
