"We're trying to prepare for a bad situation that we hopefully never have to get into," said Doug Elser chief of the Kinsman Township Fire Department.

"A lot of the volunteer firefighters don't have a farming background, and they wouldn't know how to handle an emergency on a farm like this," said Rod McNeely chief of the Gustavus Township Fire Department. "That's why the fire departments from Kinsman Township and Gustavus Township are going through the Ohio Fire Academy's training program."
The simulation trailer was designed by Ohio State University students and is only being used for the third time.
