Haz Mat

Well, MN FFI is completed. So is HazMat Awareness. Now we have started the HazMat Operations level and then MN FFII. This second half should go fairly fast.

Although calls still seem to be farily low or infrequent we have had an increase in fire related calls. A smoldering deck, chimney fire and few other smaller incidents. I guess with the weather being cold people are more indoors and with that comes fires, cig's and other potential hazards.

HaZMat Operations class has been interesting. Long but interesting. It is amazing to learn how much hazard exists in our communities and what is driving down the roads at any given time.

As we try educate the public we have to also realize we are educating the terrorists.
