Over 50,000 square feet containing premiere collections of firefighting apparatus, equipment, gear and memorabilia. www.fasnyfiremuseum.com We are pleased to present the 2012 edition of the Iroquois calendar as part of our Public Awareness and Education program. This year s theme pays tribute to Emergency Responders who, among others, so bravely serve the many communities that host the Iroquois Pipeline. Iroquois Right-of-Way Agent Spencer Robinson conducts training at Iroquois Bronx, NY facility. All departments take great pride in their stations and the equipment used to assist them in saving the lives and property of others. The firefighters badge of honor, often displayed on their apparatus, is known as the Maltese Cross, a symbol of protection that originated hundreds of years ago. The emblem, or patch featured with each photo, represents that department s uniqueness amongst a brotherhood of firefighters. Some departments incorporate the Maltese Cross into their emblem, while others use graphics that signify their history. Whatever the design, those who wear the badge of honor are willing to risk their safety for their fellow man, and they are deserving of our respect and gratitude. Iroquois truly values its partnership with Emergency Responders, and takes seriously its responsibility to provide ongoing training through regional seminars, hands-on drills, facility tours and one-on-one department sessions to ensure they are prepared to effectively respond to any emergency that may occur on our system. Iroquois Right-of-Way Agent Phil McDonald conducts training at the Canajoharie Fire Station. In addition to working closely with local fire departments to ensure the public s safety, Iroquois provides this calendar to residents, public officials and emergency responders located within our pipeline territory to serve as a reminder of the existence of our pipeline and what can be done to safeguard those around it. We encourage you to review the safety message found on the back cover and keep this calendar as a handy reference to Iroquois emergency and non-emergency numbers in the event you need to contact us. Further information on Iroquois safety, integrity and public awareness programs is available on our website at www.iroquois.com. Boonville Fire Department tours Iroquois Boonville Compressor Station.

Pipeline facilities may exist on or near your property. The purpose of this message is to make you aware of our pipeline and what to do in the event of an emergency. 1 Hazards of natural gas Flammable in concentrations of approximately 5% to 15% gas in air Explosive in a confined space if present in the above concentrations Asphyxiation, by displacing oxygen in a confined space 2 How Iroquois prevents pipeline damage Participation in one-call and dig-safe programs Inspection programs Design and construction practices Workforce qualifications Public education programs Industry safety practices and government oversight Pipeline markers and facility mapping Leak surveys Patrol of facilities Pressure monitoring Odorization Communication and coordination with city and municipal agencies Security measures Integrity Management Programs 3 Help us prevent pipeline damage by Call before you dig so the location of underground facilities can be marked out. Call 811, or your local one-call center indicated below, at least two working days before you start digging. There is no charge. New York State 1 800.962.7962 Connecticut 1 800.922.4455 Long Island and New York City 1 800.272.4480 Notify Iroquois immediately if the pipeline is inadvertently struck during excavation. Report unauthorized excavations or suspicious activity at any pipeline facility or on the right-ofway. 4 Pipeline damage can be detected by Smell Natural gas is colorless and odorless. Typically, a distinct and recognizable odorant is added to natural gas so that people detect and recognize it quickly. Sight A dust cloud, mist, fog, bubbles in standing water, or vegetation that appears to be dead or dying for no apparent reason. Sound An unusual noise like roaring, hissing, or whistling. 5 What you should do if you suspect a leak Move to a safe location Call local emergency responders at 911 and Iroquois Gas Control at 1 800.888.3982. Do not strike a match; use telephones; operate engines and motors; or switch on/off appliances, lights, or even a flashlight in the area where you smell gas. These items can produce sparks that might ignite the gas and cause an explosion. 6 Location of the Iroquois pipeline The pipeline is buried and identified by white and blue markers along the right-of-way with our Emergency Contact Number (1 800.888.3982). 7 How to get additional information Visit our website at www.iroquois.com Call Iroquois at 1 800.253.5152 Send Iroquois an e-mail at PSA_Ad@iroquois.com Information about pipelines in your area may be available through the National Pipeline Mapping System at www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov Non-Emergencies 1 800.253.5152
