55's PUT IN SERVICE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL RESPONSE TRAILER

1/4/07: The Green Township Fire Department is now better-equipped to handle hazardous materials incidents. Officials have obtained a 20-foot long trailer purchased with $7,500 donated dollars and equipped using Homeland Security dollars. The trailer carries gear that could be used to contain or mop up fuel spills from auto accidents or from vehicles traveling on I-74.The trailer is a "stop-gap" measure to control a scene until other hazmat equipment from around Hamilton County can respond. "The trailer contains some equipment that we normally couldn't hold on our pumpers and our ambulances." Lt. Mike Nie of the Green Township Fire Department said. "This is a place to keep it and get it to the scene quickly instead of having to load it up at the time of an emergency. "The trailer is housed at the Green Township fire station near the intersection of West Fork and North Bend roads. (wcpo.com)
