Pike County Director Honored for CO2 Response | Hattiesburg News

Pike County’s Emergency Management Director Tina Reed just earned top honors — the Leadership in Incident Response Award from the National Association of State Fire Marshals — for her heroic handling of a major carbon dioxide leak at an ExxonMobil valve station. Acting fast, she mobilized first responders and coordinated with industry crews to protect the rural Mississippi community. What makes this even more impressive? She’d just completed ExxonMobil’s CO2 pipeline emergency training days before the incident — proof of her proactive leadership. Reed shared the spotlight with local first responders and stressed the vital need for collaboration between agencies, industry, and communities to prevent future crises. Her award isn’t just about one event — it’s a recognition of her consistent dedication to safety, education, and preparedness.
