WEBVTT

00:04.070 --> 00:06.181
So what we did there was we did a , a

00:06.181 --> 00:08.459
sea burn exercise that's chemical , uh ,

00:08.459 --> 00:10.459
biological , radioactive or nuclear

00:10.459 --> 00:12.681
environment exercise here on base . And

00:12.681 --> 00:14.848
we chose to exercise just the chemical

00:14.848 --> 00:16.848
portion and , and test our fire and

00:16.848 --> 00:19.014
emergency services , our defenders and

00:19.014 --> 00:21.126
also uh our maintenance and emergency

00:21.126 --> 00:22.848
management for the IG . It's a

00:22.848 --> 00:25.070
requirement . So they was able to knock

00:25.070 --> 00:27.237
out several things requirement for the

00:27.237 --> 00:29.459
program . But for the firefighters , it

00:29.459 --> 00:31.514
gives them an opportunity to respond

00:31.514 --> 00:33.626
and simulate a real world emergency .

00:33.626 --> 00:35.792
The importance of this is basically to

00:35.792 --> 00:37.909
avoid complacency and also train . So

00:37.919 --> 00:40.141
we get new personnel that come into new

00:40.141 --> 00:42.308
positions , they can read the regs all

00:42.308 --> 00:41.950
day long . But it , it's a lot

00:41.959 --> 00:44.126
different whenever you go and actually

00:44.126 --> 00:46.348
execute those things . Uh Also when you

00:46.348 --> 00:48.570
write a procedure going out and testing

00:48.570 --> 00:48.270
it , this is a good chance and almost a

00:48.279 --> 00:50.790
lab for us to do so around the base and

00:50.799 --> 00:52.910
also cross talk amongst organizations

00:53.970 --> 00:56.049
actually going to an emergency and

00:56.060 --> 00:58.069
being able to practice , you know ,

00:58.080 --> 01:00.590
putting the gear on pulling the hose ,

01:00.599 --> 01:02.599
mitigating an incident , setting up

01:02.599 --> 01:04.766
command all the different aspects that

01:04.766 --> 01:06.988
we have to do during real emergencies .

01:06.988 --> 01:08.988
That's the best way to simulate and

01:08.988 --> 01:08.550
gives them an opportunity to practice

01:08.559 --> 01:08.819
that .
