glenn, on a serious note... please take a look at a new group I just started called Hazmat WMD Responder. What I really want to focus on here is sharing how to decontaminate people and not just the use soap and water mentality but more detailed information like using Johnson & Johnson baby soap to decon eyes (no tears). I'm also trying to get firefighters on board with the concept of fire toxmedics. At least carrying antidotes for the responders in case something goes wrong. Are you into this stuff like I am? Say that your an EMS Chief, thought you might be... I've been teaching this subject nationally for the past several years now and would love to discuss this with you in more detail should you have the time. ms
for being a new member, your site rocks. I don't think I've seen anyone else list that many classes. well, maybe I may have put a few down as well. impressive pedigree brother. stay safe, mike
