Hello Everyone,
While a few of my men were off training with Tim's department, a few of his were in Ohio getting their Hazmat Training. The Hazmat class is a new class offered by the PFD and consists of three classroom days and two skills days.
Classroom days consisted of learning terminology, and command structure.
Skills day one consisted of a tanker truck leaking an unknown liquid into a local water way. The job of the students was to secure the scene, organize a shelter in place for local residents, use the command structure properly, identify the liquid, and resolve the situation.
-
An inspection of the truck reveled that the tank was holding about 400 gallons of diesel fuel.
Tim's men were quick to construct a rubber barrier backfilled with sand to block the flow of diesel fuel into a nearby pond.
-
The barrier stopped the flow of diesel fuel so Tim's men could repair the tanker truck.
-
The second skills day consisted of a medical office building and some leaking anhydrous ammonia. ;D
When crews arrived they were informed of mutiple people trapped inside the building, their locations were unknown.
Tim's men and PFD firefighters had to secure the area, set up a staging area, triage area, and a decon area.
-
Since the anhydrous ammonia levels inside the building were unknown crews entered the building in full Hazmat gear.
Victims were slowly brought out one by one.
The guys in the full hazmat suits were decontaminated by other firefighter.

:D :D :D
Great. I love these details in the pics! Very well set up and nice story.
You and Tim really should make a booklet from these training sessions.
-
I can only agree with Little Jo - detailed (Playmobil-sized?) instruction booklets are a must.
And like Tim, you have given us an excellent set of photos and commentary.

... or instruction posters, which can be glued to those signs from the headquarters set ...

Hello Ben :)
Thank you very much for the pictures. I can see my men had their work cut out while they were over in Ohio. The attention to detail in your pictures never fails to amaze me. I really do like the decontamination pictures, those green tub's the men are standing in are excellent !!
Hello Gordon, Little Jo
I really do like the ideas for having a booklet based on mine and Ben's training session's but lack the skills required to make one :(. I can provide the pictures and information on the exercises i carried out though.
Kindest Regards Tim :)9

I can offer some technical help, if you like. I made a view things like this in the past (you remember the calendar (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=346.msg5674#msg5674)).
A klicky-sized one would be for sure less effort, because -- I assume -- all text wouldn't be readable at all (due to limited size) so the pictures would be in this case most important. For a real-live booklet (e.g. in A3 or A4 size) text would become more important, because it should be readable ;D
The same for the posters: I assume for a klicky-sized posters text would be big enough to be readable.

Great stuff! :wow:
I always enjoy seeing photos of your klickies in action outdoors, Ben!
Your Hazmat training story is amazingly detailed and realistic. 8-)
I found it fun to look at and educational at the same time. Thanks for sharing it! :)

Cool pictures ;D Love the decontaminated sceene, just like in the armed forces when cleaning up after a chemical attack! Thanks for posting!!

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for the comments. ;D
I agree with you Jochen, it would be cool to make an information booklet 8-)
Tim, the green tubs are from the modern life washroom set.
Thanks again!
Ben
