Sunday morning the Hope Valley-Wyoming Haz-Mat team participated in a drill along with Hope Valley Ambulance and Hope Valley-Wyoming Fire. The drill was conducted to be as life like as possible. It included two barrels with "unknown" substances and a "bomb". Members had gear up in full haz-mat gear and had to search the warehouse and report back to operations. Haz-Mat drills are an essential part in maintaining a successful Haz-Mat team.
