You might want to check that Jeff, I was at the meeting where it was explained by the Group Officer and the rules are no rural fires and not to wear it at a Hazmat if you are going to be wearing an encapsulated suit.

You would wear it to a Hazmat initially as it the only thing we have that gives you complete level 3 protection, however if you are going to wear a suit then it comes off.

Wouldnt have thought it would be a problem in Mawson group full stop as there are no HAZMAT brigades?

Zippy:
ah there may be Hazmat operators tho ;)  They could respond with the nearest Hazmat Brigade, not sure about MFS hazmats tho.

& that there are.. ;)

Not to mention the reduced Hazmat responses, or responses that turn into Hazmats once onscene.

Zippy:
Yeah similar case with my brigade, we got someone from another group who trains every 4 months with us...but also the rest of my group have several operators which support us crew a hazmat, certain is the only rare occasions where private cars are used to drive to incidents.
