The scenario was a large leak from an anhydrous nurse tank after a vehicle accident. The Region V Hazardous Materials exercise was held Tuesday evening, Sept. 6, at the NEW Coop location on Highway 3 in Humboldt. The situation not only involved an accident with victims, but also reports of lung and eye irritation from nearby residents. Instructor Jerry Eslick of Professional Rescue Innovations led the exercise along with Humboldt County Emergency Management coordinator Melody Larson.
