Utility emergency responders undergo a week of training, plus annual refreshers
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) supplies electricity for people throughout the Tennessee Valley through many plants. It's a process requiring many safety precautions and much training.
"We have to have response teams in our plants to take care of events before they get bad. If we can catch a fire when it's still in the trash can, it hasn't caused the plant to trip. So you know no one is losing electrical power and if we catch them quickly we can protect the employee," Phillip Johnson of TVA Emergency Response Training told a local TV station.
