Haz Mat Conference






2nd day of the Haz Mat conference here in Baltimore. Been to 3 classes and the exhibition hall lots of really cool stuff worth lots of money that the federal government here gives the fire departments to spend on equipment.

One of the demonstrations was of a fire resistant chemical suit, they had a dummy with sensors on and simulated a 3 second flash fire with just normal clothes on and with other types of clothing I mention this for you Jordan I have lots of photos that might be good for your science project.

Also saw some of the equipment that the different agencies here have, the black truck and trailer is a FBI command unit with cameras robots etc. They have lots of decon tents etc all this equipment is new because of post 9/11 requirements.

Went to a local pub last night for dinner and a group of us might go into town tonight for a look around which will be nice to get out of the hotel for a change.

One more day of presentations the off to Charlotte North Carolina next.

Went to watch Kesia play soccer this morning and she got player of the day which was great. Took photo of her on mobile and emailed to Tania for her to put on blog.
Building in back room really coming along and by the time you get home it will be all but done.
