When I first came on - hazmat was lowering one guy down on a rope - when he yelled, we pulled him out and he described what he saw. Thank God for training and cooperation between Fire Departments and Commercial Ventures - New Federal and State disclosure laws help too!
Amen!! It is perpetual training and education. As fast as we learn something; someone comes along and develops another new poison, another new chemical or fuel ...
Just because you CAN put on the suit, doesn't mean you should. HazMat was the buzz awhile back, but I believe we've all learned this is something you need to be updated on and train frequently.
