EDITOR'S NOTE: An earlier version of this story said this training would be taking place Wednesday. That information was put out mistakenly by Mill Creek Metroparks on their Facebook page. This is actually happening on Thursday, April 17. 

 

Marathon Petroleum Co. will conduct a spill response training exercise at Mill Creek Metropark’s Mirror Pond on Thursday.

The training is scheduled to take place from approximately 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

During the exercise, an emergency response trailer and Youngstown Fire Department engines will be on-site. Personnel will work together to simulate a spill response, enhancing safety and preparedness for potential environmental incidents.

Park officials say the proactive training ensures that response teams are ready to act quickly and effectively to protect the environment.

Members of the public may see activity around Mirror Pond during the drill.
