First responders in Huron County run mock training exercise for train collisions
Emergency services in Huron East will be running a mock training exercise on Thursday to prepare for response in the event of a train collision. Police say that the exercise will take place from roughly 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the area of Kinburn Line, which will be closed from Huron Road to Front Road in Huron East to facilitate the training. 'Ignoring railway signs and signals, being distracted at rail stations or crossings, or using tracks as a shortcut or a recreational path can lead to track tragedies that are entirely preventable,' said Provincial Constable Craig Soldan of the Huron County OPP. 'The OPP is encouraging people to avoid risky behaviours around tracks and trains, so they stay safe and stay alive.' There will be an increased presence of emergency responders in the area for the exercise. There is no reason for alarm.
