2008 SF Responders WMD Training Event

The ARMY CBRNE response trailer that is referred to in the picture is really a 6-wheeled, Gator-style ATV that is self-propelled by its own engine. The picture of the SWAT officer holstering his pistol in his boot is an absolute no-no, in either the "Hot" (HAZMAT ground zero and high exposure potential perimeter zones) or the "Warm" (decon) zones; boots must be tightly closed off with chemical resistent tape (looks like duct tape) against the CBRN suit legs to be fully contained, with or without a self-contained breathing aparatus worn by the responder. If the threat substance is found to be a weaponized biological agent, then the decontamination (Warm Zone) becomes very complex with more equipment and clean-room style tents and more medical triage equipment instead of the small tent shown in the photographs.
