TB#36 Immediate causes of concern with the discovery of pcp labs are:
volatility of pcp’s chemical components and users immunity to pain
TB#35 The main objectives of overhaul are:
Insure that the fire is out and not subject to rekindle and that the building or other areas being overhauled are safe for occupancy if released
To determine the most probable cause
To leave insurance adjusters with a means to determine the fire loss, this results in more equitably settlement for fire victims
To provide for security of the premises before leaving the scene, the fire scene should be secured against rekindle unlawful entry and other unauthorized acts

TB#60 The greatest danger of Methanol is:
specifically toxic effects upon eyes
TB#60 Properties of Methanol :
Vapor density 1.11, the density is 1.1 times the density of air
therefore methanol vapors will tend to settle in low areas
Reactivity methanol is more chemically reactive than diesel fuel or gasoline, it will corrode some metals and certain plastics ie carbon steel and aluminum
Solubility - methanol unlike gasoline or diesel fuel will mix with water, a mixture of methanol and water is still flammable when diluted with approximately five parts water to one part methanol.
TB#60 The most effective methods used to extinguish Methanol fires is:
ABC rated Dry chemical Extinguisher, Purple K. extinguisher sodium bicarbonate
Halon extinguishers are effective although not as effective as the appropriate dry chemical extinguishers. Note: RTD buses are equipped with a Halon System in the engine compartment.
Afff/ATC - for larger spills or fires alcohol foam afff/atc resistant foam is appropriate. supply and maintenance division has 700 gallons in supply available.
Water - since methanol is a water soluble, dilution techniques can be used for extinguishment . However methanol will burn with mixtures of up top five parts water per one part methanol, in addition water fog in conjunction with dry chemical and carbon dioxide have been used successfully
TB#78 Pre-hospital medical care for someone exposed to Oleo Resin Capsicum:
Treatment area should be well ventilated ( for first few min of exposure)
Primary and secondary survey
Vital signs
Flush with water
Application of cool wet pads.
Wear latex gloves to avoid self contamination.
Book #37 before any containment actions can be initiated during a hazardous materials spill, what must be performed:

Book#37 At a hazardous materials incident, first responders must address situations that present a danger of:
