HazMat Placards to Success will provide a step by step process for response to a Hazardous Materials incident.
As far as paying for it goes, Nextel should be footing the whole bill. Including replacing radios that are not capable of accepting the new frequencies and scanners as well.
We currently participate in the Massachusetts Statewide 800 mhz trunked ...
Just like any other pack....they are only as good as its competent user and how they are maintained. But I will say i have been using the Scott brand for my whole career. I have found nothing better than them.

How do you use the 800 and VHF together is it one radion that does both or are there 2 sets?
IN was supose to go all 800 by the first of this year but they backed off that. I'm not sure what their plan is now.

David Ebel said… - Greetings,
We have created a site for responders run exclusively by responders... It is a place with great fellowship on the good days and solid and confidential support when the "bad call" happens. As a Chaplain of over 25 years we wanted a place that responders could come and receive the support for traumatic events with trained CISM responders and more.
Please join our site and invite your friends, too
