I agree as well but the problem I run into is now I'm the go-to guy if something is needed. Its unfortunate but it is the way things work right now.

If we take a look at the HazMat Group called HazMAt Training and News we have a great discussion on Bio D Labs. Lets do a little training with the ERG and Look up some of the chemicals that have been listed. Do it a crew while on duty! This is one way we can get guys to train on the ERG!

Sorry I have been out for a while. Got hurt at 4 alarm taxpayer and tore my shoulder up pretty good. Boston does do drills but they only do it with the "Hazmat" or "technical rescue" companies. The problem is those companies take time to get to your location. They do not get very many incidents in their response area. We go for a fuel leak and find out a oil truck just pumped 1500 gallons of heating fuel into some ones basment or it blew our of the vent and is all over the street. Our cure all is Spedi Dry until the "special" companies get their.
