• <br />• <br />During the annual inspection by the fire department, we look for <br />any changes in the contents of a building that might violate the codes. <br />An example of this could be a building that is now storing or using <br />hazardous materials but the building was not designed for that purpose. <br />In those cases, the building must be brought up to code or the hazardous <br />materials removed. <br />All of the firefighters are training to the operations level for <br />hazardous materials. We do have some equipment to create dikes and <br />booms across water. We also have access to a Chemical Assessment <br />team from Fridley and a Hazardous Response team from St. Paul. <br />Most of our calls involving hazardous materials occur in gas <br />stations with gasoline or diesel fuel. Another area that we have concern <br />with is the filling of LP bottles by the service station personnel. It seems <br />that the training and respect for the product are lacking. We continually <br />work on this issue but as turnover occurs, new people are constantly <br />being hired and put on the job without proper training. <br />I hope that this has answered your questions, but if not feel free to <br />contact me at my office (651) 784 -7472. <br />Sincerely, <br />i% -4-n-fru <br />Milo Bennett <br />Fire Chief <br />
