MARIETTA, Ga. — Members of the Colonial Pipeline Southeast District team participated in the Cobb County ​“Family Fun Safety Day” on June 13. The event offered families a fun-filled time of safety awareness. 

The event allowed the community to tour Colonial Pipeline’s ​“educational tank” which includes videos, interactive models and games educating children and adults on how gasoline and jet fuel get from a refinery to your car or local airport. It also teaches the community to Call 811 to ensure safe digging.

The Cobb Safety Village is a great outing for families that is both fun and educational.Built on a 8 acre site, is the most comprehensive safety training environment in the region where our residents and business community gain knowledge through hands on experiences. 

Other activities at the event included a tour of Sparky’s House, water safety games, free finger printing kits and up-close views of emergency vehicles provided by Cobb County first responders.
