Day 83: A Trip Downtown

We started the day with a quick decon practice....Here is the video of a decon corridor...(I'm not in the video, well I am, just not on camera...I was in a big blue suit waiting to be cleaned...)



We spent the rest of the morning talking about various ways to clean up and stop leaks at hazmat situations.

After lunch, we took a trip to Station 1. There we had several stations on stopping leaks.

My group started at Barrel leaks, moved on to a tour of Hazmat 1 (a really cool hazmat operations truck assigned to Station 1). We then moved on to a station that covered various ways to plug a leaking barrel. After that, we moved on to ways of stopping leaks on chlorine bottles, 1/2 ton containers, and rail cars. All use the same principle, just different devices that are specific to the container.

All in all a great day that went by quickly.

Tomorrow looks to be another day in the classroom. Time will tell....
