Hazmatters: Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services, Canada

Lethbridge Fire & Emergency Services, Canada

The Hazmat Nation has no borders as it does not matter what part of the world you are from, the chemical properties and mission are the same.  This edition of Hazmatters was submitted by Kelly L’Hirondelle of Lethbridge, Alberta.  Their team is a combo team cross-staffed from another apparatus which serves a population of approximately 200,000.  There are 4-6 members on duty at any one time with more available to be called in if needed.  The team was started in September 2009 and has 24 members.
