In response to recent undertakes in the North Country after a working fire involving hazardous materials, I wanted to get some more information on the matter.

Who decides the policy for dealing with contaminated or potentially contaminated gear, tools, apparatus after being exposed to hazardous materials? State? County? Department?

What are the policies that exist?

Does the gear get tested for chemical levels? Timeframe? By who?

Who is responsible for replacing gear? State? County? Department that hosted the incident? Members own department? M/A Insurance?

Thanks and stay safe,

Madison
