Great multi-agency HAZMAT training focused on responding to a potential chemical incident at the Wundowie Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Each agency spoke about their role in an incident response, when situations should be escalated, and the capabilities and resources they can provide during a chemical emergency.
Combined training with Wundowie Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service, Wheatbelt District - WA Police Force, Shire of Northam and Water Corporation.
It was a valuable opportunity for our newer members to gain knowledge on use of fully enclosed gas suits and more complex hazmat incidents, and strengthen communication, coordination and preparedness across all responding organisations.
Thanks to all involved for sharing their knowledge and experience.
