Ray Energy & Regional Partners Collaborate to Provide Safety Training

HAMPTON, NY (June 2026) — Ray Energy Corp., a regional propane supplier, recently hosted a comprehensive collaborative Safety Day at their Hampton terminal. The proactive training event brought together Ray Energy personnel, regional first responders and critical transportation partners to walk through real-world incident scenarios, ensuring a coordinated and effective response in the event of an emergency. 

The hands-on event featured collaborative cross-training stations designed to familiarize attendees with the facility’s specialized infrastructure and vehicles. Participants engaged in detailed walkthroughs of a Ray Energy propane transport vehicle, a Lake Champlain Coal bobtail and a Vermont Rail locomotive, where they reviewed essential rail safety protocols. 

“Safety is at the core of everything we do,” said John Ray. “We are grateful for the strong engagement and support from our local first responders. Partnerships like these are beneficial for both our communities and the propane industry as a whole.” 

Led by instructors Mike White and Glenn Myers of Ray Energy, the training session was grounded in strict compliance with Ray Energy’s Emergency Response Action Plan, Risk Management Plan, and HazMat Security Plan, as well as the industry-standard Propane Emergencies Handbook. 

The event saw strong regional attendance, including personnel from Hampton Volunteer Fire Co., Middle Granville Fire Dept., Whitehall Volunteer Fire Co., and Poultney Fire Dept., alongside industrial partners Lake Champlain Coal and Vermont Rail. Regional first responders highly valued the opportunity. 

The Middle Granville Fire Department stated that opportunities like this “strengthen our readiness, improve safety for our firefighters, and help ensure we can respond effectively when our neighbors need us” while Joel Roberts, Chief of Hampton Volunteer Fire Co., emphasized that the training “not only teaches us how to respond to potential emergencies at the terminal but also better prepares us to respond to any subject related emergency that may occur, contributing to overall organizational preparedness.”
