I have awareness, operations, and technician level training programs that are currently being used by Georgia. If you send me your mailing address, I will burn them all to disk and mail them out to you. Way too much information to send via e-mail.

Greetings from Rockford! I know MABAS Division 8 just received a weather station that is used with ALOHA. Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with scenario training with the CAMEO suite (if that's what you're using). We have a file on our department's computer network that has information on all of our monitors. Every HazMat technician on your team should be familiar with every monitor you carry. This would include how to do a pre-use bump test on the monitor and how to interpret the readings. You would be amazed and the number of techs that are not familiar with their monitors.
I don't know which MABAS Division you are in, or which department houses all of your MABAS equipment, but an indepth training on the HazMat ID unit from Smiths Detection is always a great drill! I'd love to exchange more information if you so desire. Have fun and stay safe!

Hi there, I'm with MABAS 2 & 12. We don't currently use CAMEO but I have it on our station computers. I'm in the process of teaching myself how to use it. I have been to the Hazmat ID training and your right it is a very good class. I did not know you could do training scenario's on CAMEO. I will check into it. Like I said I just started trying to figure out the program. I agree with you some of my people don't know how to read these monitors. We house one of the MABAS 12 trailer. MABAS 2 we have a squad with decon equipment and some monitors but the rest of the equipment is in South Elgin FD trailer. If you have any information that you think would help me with CAMEO please let me know.

Thank you.
