386th ECES Fire Department completes HAZMAT certifications

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Craig Dennis, center, firefighter, 386th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department, poses for a photo after being in a hazardous material training suit, while getting his body temperature checked by Staff Sgt. Chalmer M. Gross, medical technician, 386th Expeditionary Medical Group, at Fire Station 2 at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, May 22, 2022. Gross made sure Dennis’ body was able to provide proper thermoregulation, as the hazmat suits are extremely hot and the effects are compounded by the 100-degree Fahrenheit weather. The 386th ECES Fire Department conducted a certification evaluation for hazardous materials incident commanders and technicians on base. The hands-on portion of the certification consisted of three simulated scenarios: stopping a one-ton container, typically used for storage, from leaking chlorine from its fusible plugs; the transportation of hazardous materials by rail; and bolting down an unstable cylinder, which contained nitrogen.
