HAZMAT Training

This month, departments town wide have been training on how to deal with hazardous materials (HAZMAT) incidents. This includes how to identify and address hazardous materials in the field/on scene, and how to treat any potential victims. These pictures show Hazardville Fire Department firefighters donning their Level B HAZMAT suits with Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and passing through a "Mass Decontamination" setup made up of Departments two engine and one truck companies.

Captain Hurley ran the evening drill, with Firefighter Dave Praus and Probationary Firefighter Carriere being suited up in HAZMAT suits.
