First responders in Delaware County don t encounter hazardous-material spills often, but they work to stay prepared just in case one occurs.
The drill scenario was a traffic accident that caused a tanker truck to leak hydrofluoric acid, a highly corrosive and toxic liquid. It can cause dangerous burns through contact or by being inhaled.
The event included 11 fire departments on the scene, evacuation of nearby residences, volunteers portraying hazmat victims and press briefings as the event unfolded in real time.
The drill was coordinated by Delaware County’s Local Emergency Planning Committee, an interagency group of first responders, industry representatives and other local partners.
