Emergency responders join forces to train

A HazMat ID Elite handheld detector analyzes a simulated unknown substance during a joint training exercise Feb. 10, 2016, on RAF Mildenhall, England. The handheld detector can identify the presence of chemical agents in liquid or solid form in approximately one minute or less. It’s so advanced, it can tell responders exactly what agent they are dealing with even if there is more than one substance present. Responders from the 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department, 100th CES Emergency Management flight, 48th CES Emergency Management flight, and 48th Aerospace Medicine Squadron Bioenvironmental Engineering flight joined forces to train on responding to a suspicious package containing hazardous materials.
