Last night was our monthly department drill. This months topic is Haz-Mat. Most firefighters will tell you that Haz-Mat training can be boring and sometimes hard to stay awake during. Well this year the goal was to change that. We introduced a new drill called the Haz-Mat Game Show. We had two teams of 4 go against each other in a test of knowledge about Hazardous Materials and how we deal with them.
