2017 info about Worcester Mass hazmat capabilities

https://www.cmrpc.org/sites/default/files/Haz%20Mat%20Presentation%20for%20Chief%20update%20%282%29.pdf

"Worcester Fire Department Equipment Includes: • 4 gas meters • 5 gas
meters • Single gas meters (ammonia, chlorine) • PID Meters • Level B
& C PPE • Powered air purifying respirators • Leak control supplies •
Over pack Drums"

"If a level A entry is required or incident is beyond our metering or
equipment limitations the State Haz-Mat Team is called in"

"Over 20 Worcester firefighters are trained to the technician level •
16 are members of the State Response Team • They receive at least 88
hours of advanced training annually • They respond to incidents across
the state • The team assists Training Division with department annual
refresher"

=============

that is good info .... the city hazmat team and the state hazmat team
are almost the same thing ... except the state team has more
equipment and level A suits
