NY Dept. Responds to Hazmat Situation

Syracuse Fire’s Regional Hazmat  Response Team was requested to deploy to the Town of DeWitt by the DeWitt Fire Department, who was on the scene of an unknown substance in a container, inside of a business.

Certain physical characteristics of the product led the DeWitt firefighters to escalate the resources on scene—they initiated a request to the Syracuse Fire Dept. for a hazmat response.         

The hazmat team made entry to the business wearing ‘Level B’ hazmat suits and analyzed the product.

The team then carefully moved it into a 55-gallon metal drum and sealed it.
