The Grey Area – Where Rescue meets HAZMAT
In late 2015 law enforcement and EMS responded to a routine ‘check the welfare’ of an individual based on early morning concerns by family. Upon arrival the law enforcement officers were overwhelmed by noxious fumes and backed out of the doorway. EMS was staged pending hazardous materials response. Due to the quick decision making of fire personnel the victim was removed from the structure and lived to tell his story. This case study and others will be reviewed to look at where the rescue is required at a HazMat scene and quick action is mandatory to save a life.
Presenters: B. Coschignano/P. Ambrose/ J. Rogers
