Members from the Philippines Bureau of Fire Protection Special Rescue Unit (BFP SRU) and the Fountain Fire Department (FFD) assist in removing the chemical protective gear of a teammate as they go through the decontamination (DECON) line during a training exercise in Fountain, Colorado, February 14. The HAZMAT member is simulating being injured to provide training to the DECON team in removing gear without the assistance of the person wearing it. The exercise is the culmination of a two-week Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Explosive (CBRNE) training the BFP SRU received from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s CBRNE Preparedness Program (CP2). During the exercise, the BFP SRU team worked side by side with the FFD to respond to and counter the effects of a simulated homemade explosives laboratory. DTRA’s CP2 program helps to train and equip military and civilian first-responders to deal with worst-case scenarios. (Department of Defense photo by Chelsi Johnson)
