Blue Flame University

In an effort to educate and promote safety, Middle Tennessee Natural Gas offers a special school program appropriately titled “Blue Flame University.” The program is offered to all fourth grade classes in our service area. Cliff Swoape is the “professor” of Blue Flame University. The class sessions last for 45 minutes to an hour and include science, natural gas safety, and even a little history.  The classes also learn about jobs such as geologists, meter readers, engineers, and service technicians.  The classes can be adapted to other age groups and schedules.

Many groups have gone through the program with very positive feedback. The students especially like the grand-finale safety portion of the program when the “explosion chamber “is demonstrated.

If anyone would like to learn more about this exciting program or would like to participate in some of the sessions when they come into your area, please contact Cliff Swoape at 615-597-4300.
