Several members of the HAZMAT Team attended the 2007 International Association of Fire Chiefs 2007 HAZMAT Conference. Because this is held in our back yard (Hunt Valley), it is a great opportunity to train and network with other HAZMAT professionals. This year was held in honor of Chief John Eversole who retired from the Chicago Fire Department. He is considered one of the forefathers of HAZMAT Response. He will be missed.
