Yesterday evening, the Oxford Fire Department held its monthly department drill with all three companies, Center, Quaker Farms and Riverside. This month drilled focused on handling hazardous materials (HAZMAT). The drill was divided up into three stations. Station 1 focused on using various techniques to plug holes in leaking HAZMAT containers. Station 2 focused on damming/diking to prevent HAZMAT’s from damage nearby environmental concerns. Station 3 focused on decontamination (decon), the process of removing toxic substances from firemen, gear and to prevent the spread of any hazardous materials. Thank you to all the instructors who organized and guided the drill.
