Profile Information

Hometown:
Los Angeles
I Live: (City, State)
Mountain View, CA
Years in Fire/EMS:
26
Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:
I am a Federal On-Scene Coordinator for U.S. EPA Region 9, San Francisco, CA. I have been doing hazardous materials response work for 23 years. I was the Federal Incident
Commander for the Panoche Tire Fire (Fresno County), Westley Tire Fire (Stanislaus County and the Guam Tire Fire (Ordot Landfill).
Relationship Status:
Single
Primary Fire/EMS Department:
U.S. EPA Emergency Response
Department Type:
Other Response Agency Type
Rank/Role There:

Dept. Web Site:

2nd Department Type:

About Me:
If you like, I can send you the FOSC Report on the Westley Tire Fire - how we put it out in 29 days.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
We are preparing an exercise for our Federal On-Scene
Coordinators. The scenario is a forklift driver
accidentally punctures an anhydrous ammonia tank at a fish processing facility (aka Morro Bay Ammonia Release).
Responders in level B (annual level B exercise) will be tasked to set-up a treatment system to treat the
vapors by assembling a diffusion tank.

Do you have any guidance on how to set up an
emergency water diffusion system for an anhydrous ammonia tank and cylinder leak? If not, do you have a suggestion on where I could find that sort of
information?

The incident hindered my response by a minute or so which could make all of the difference. In this instance - no, I still made the rig (it was an EMS call). However, the "What If" factor plays a key role - the other drivers passing me didn't know...

This is true. It's personally happened to me, I've heard horror stories about it, and someone I work with has even stated that she purposely does this as well. However, if it were her house on fire, or her husband and/or children that needed help,...
