Hazmat Hotzone Rescues: The Gray Area
This class offers a practical approach to first-in hazmat response-tailored for all firefighters, from career to volunteer. With chemical suicides, drug labs, fentanyl, and lithium-ion battery fires on the rise, hazmat is no longer rare-it's routine. We break down when structural PPE suffices for hot zone rescues and when to hold the line. Attendees will learn to recognize evolving threats, dispel outdated go/no-go myths, and apply a clear decision-making model grounded in real-world experience. Rethink your approach and gain tactics your crew can implement immediately.
