The Hazmat Team was requested to stand by during the recovery operation of an overturned semi tanker that contained a full load of commercial grade herbicide. Due to the damaged and compromised vessel, the Hazmat Team stood by while recovery crews worked to upright the truck. Luckily, no product was spilled and no spill containment measures from the Hazmat Team was needed.

This device is used to identify materials from a library ranging over 28,600 chemicals and mixtures. This device is capable of identifying solids, liquids, and gases including industrial chemicals, prescription/illegal drugs, chemical warfare agents, explosives, and much more. This device was funded by grant funds through Homeland Security.

This past week, the Hazmat Team provided a metering and air monitoring training with Bradford Fire & Rescue, reviewing meters and atmospheric monitoring for hazardous conditions. We strive to provide outreach trainings with our Fire Department partners to not only enhance our response to Hazardous Materials incidents, but also to improve our relationships and interoperability with the Departments that call for our assistance.
