Photos - Local Government Emergency Response Personnel
In the event of an oil spill, the first line of defense is often provided by local government emergency response personnel. Here, local firefighters respond to a fire at a chemical facility. Local responders bring valuable assistance to the response, including knowledge of the area and the hazardous substances stored in the facilities, available response equipment, and local personnel. |
