GATX

GATX is committed to the safety of our communities. To that end, we recently donated two general purpose tank cars to North County Regional Fire’s new, state-of-the-art training facility in Stanwood, WA. In addition to providing the tank cars, GATX assisted with logistics to ensure they made it to the facility safely.

As the only fire training center of its kind in Northwest Washington, not only will firefighters in North County benefit from the addition of these tank cars to their training program, but neighboring agencies and community colleges will also have the opportunity to utilize the training resources.

The two tank cars will hold a total of 62,000 gallons of water, which will be used in conjunction with a pump system to provide variable water pressures to eight fire hydrants installed in a closed-loop system within the training facility. This will enable live-fire training scenarios, providing an unparalleled training experience that simulates real-life situations. The goal is to better train over 9,000 firefighters in the region and provide real-life experience in a controlled environment to help them proactively prevent and minimize injuries in the line of duty.

GATX is honored to play a small role in helping provide fire department personnel with training and preparedness to keep their communities safe.

GATX employees in Waycross, Georgia collected, sorted, packed, and delivered food to local families for Thanksgiving.

During this season of gratitude, GATX is thankful for our incredible employees. We are grateful for their commitment to our mission, to each other, and to our communities.

Thank you Academy of St. Benedict the African for everything you do in the community. We were thrilled to help ready the building for the new school year!
