HazMat Training – First-Due Target Hazard Familiarization
At the end of September, members of the Iona McGregor Fire District, led by Haz-Mat coordinator Captain Todd Barber had the opportunity to tour the Lee County water/wastewater treatment facility on Pine Ridge Road as part of our quarterly HazMat training and pre-incident planning.
A special thank you to Igor and Terry for taking the time to walk our crews through the facility and making sure we were able to capture all of our members across the three-day training.
This was much more than a facility tour. Our crews were able to gain valuable first-hand knowledge of:
🔹 The facility’s structures, systems, and operations
🔹 Chemicals used and stored on site and their associated hazards
🔹 Chemical storage, transfer, and treatment processes
🔹 Emergency shutoffs, containment, drainage, and other critical features
🔹 How facility personnel respond to leaks, spills, releases, and other emergencies
🔹 Potential hazards and areas of concern for responding firefighters
🔹 Facility access, staging, and considerations for arriving emergency apparatus
🔹 What facility personnel need from the fire department during an emergency
🔹 Coordination between facility personnel, the fire department, and specialized HazMat resources
One of the most valuable parts of this training was having our crews hear directly from the people who know the facility best and discuss what happens before we arrive, what happens when we arrive, and how we can work together when an emergency occurs.
Pre-incident planning and familiarization with our community’s target hazards allows our firefighters to make better-informed decisions when seconds matter.
Thank you again to Igor and Terry for opening the facility to our members, sharing your expertise, and helping us prepare to better serve our community. ... See MoreSee Less

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
For the Iona McGregor Fire District, this cause is especially close to our hearts. A few years ago, our own Fire Marshal, Jackielou Mozes, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Today, we are incredibly grateful to celebrate that Jackie is two years cancer free! 💗
Her strength and courage throughout her journey are a reminder of why awareness and early detection matter. This month, we stand with Jackielou and all those who have faced breast cancer - the survivors, those currently fighting, and the families and friends who support them along the way.
Your IMFD personnel are sending strength & hope for all those affected. ... See MoreSee Less
