On
Wednesday, August 27, 2008, Colleton County Fire-Rescue held a
drill during which Hazardous Materials Mitigation tactics were
practiced. The drill involved the first unit arriving to
find a simulated tractor trailer leaking Dichlorsilane, a
highly toxic, corrosive, water reactive and flammable gas.
First arriving units were also faced with a simulated patient that
was lying on the ground behind the trailer. Fire-Rescue
personnel dressed in fully-encapsulating Level A
training suits and entered the hazardous atmosphere with advanced
air monitoring equipment. They quickly extricated and
decontaminated the patient. Click here
