Re:  Hospital Decon Training

Williamson Memorial Hospital is sponsoring a “Hospital Decontamination Course” July 21-22, 2009. This course will be taught by
Lanny Adkins (Huntington FD Ret) and Murray Loflin from WVU Fire Extension Service. Any and all WFD personnel have been
invited to participate.
All on duty personnel will attend.
Anyone else that might be interested should attend. The decon unit at the hospital will be utilized and possibly our own decon
equipment as well. This is a great training opportunity for us, at no cost to the department, and we will be better trained for any such
incident which may require our involvement should the need arise.
