There are some great trends being tracked in the firehouse.com poll at each of the four decision points for this case study.
The boy in the pink shirt was the driver of the truck. The boy shown arriving was his friend who he called to come to the scene.
No one required medical attention. The insecticide truck driver ran the red light and was struck by the guy in the minivan who had the green light.
To assist those wishing to continue this incident within their own department, here is the specific hazmat information on the spilled insecticide.
The chemical was DEMAND CS Insecticide. It is described as a synthetic pyrethroid. The manufacturer is listed as Zenaca Inc, of Wilmington DE.
At this incident, the spill of the working solution of insecticide had already occurred by the time the fire department arrived on scene. The FD hazmat team did contain the residual puddle still in the leaking tank and disposed of all contaminated materials, equipment, and soil according to department protocols.
We're just glad it wasn't one of those larger lawn sprayer trucks you see driving around the neighborhoods. Are you prepared if this were to occur in your district?
