MARCH 27, 2015 -- OR&R’s Emergency Response Division will be hosting the Seattle Fire Department HAZMAT teams at the NOAA Western Regional Center in Seattle April 6–9, 2015 for training on the latest versions of the CAMEO software suite. The CAMEO suite includes several hazardous materials response and planning tools used by firefighters across the United States.

The Seattle Fire Department operates on a four shift rotation, resulting in a different team being trained each day. Because they will be on duty, the firefighters will arrive in five emergency vehicles, including a fire engine and ladder trucks. The main topics covered in the training will include the CAMEO Chemicals database, the ALOHA air dispersion model, and the completely redesigned electronic mapping program MARPLOT.
