WHEN CHEMICALS REACT
A small crowd is gathered around a burning warehouse. When firefighters notice a strong chemical odor, they called in a unit that handles hazardous materials, known as a hazmat team. Four hazmat first responders step out of their vehicle a few minutes later. Every team member is dressed in personal protective equipment, known as PPE. This includes gloves, boots, helmets, hoods, and bright yellow hazmat suits.
The wind changes course and starts to blow harder. A moment later, a hazmat crew member points to the northwest corner of the building. Another fire has started. This one is dangerously close to a chemical facility. Containers full of highly flammable chemicals are stored there.
