Captain Lafayette Fire Dept Romney, Indiana, United States
The old is new again… White powder calls have changed once again! Fentanyl, spice, and bath salts, what are we getting into now? Going beyond the hysteria, what are the real hazards of these mixtures? In this presentation we will look at the history, components and chemistry, as well as current trends in these operations, and what is coming down the pipe. We will examine the alphabet soup of chemicals and explain what they are. How can we identify these chemicals? Why are these operations so hard to stop? What are our operational, PPE and decontamination consideration? And what is next?
