Hazmat Team Utilizes Weather Station in Training Drill

Image
The Oregon State Fire Marshal has equipped hazmat teams around the state with portable and vehicle-mount weather stations from Columbia Weather for over two decades. These weather stations integrate with PEAC hazmat software to provide first responders with critical, real-time data to assess and mitigate the effects of toxic chemical leaks. The Medford Fire Department Hazmat 08 team recently participated in the annual Linde Drill, a collaborative training event for hazmat response. “This year's drill focused on an ammonia release,” the department stated in their recent post. “As ammonia is widely used across industries and farming, this training was valuable for all the participants who may encounter it in their work.

Back in 2003, Mike installed a Capricorn 2000 Weather Station at a BPA site. More than two decades later, it's still going strong. “I remember installing this over 20 years ago and have done very little to fix it,” Mike told us. “I still use the same system and will continue to do so.” For BPA, a major provider of hydroelectric power in the Pacific Northwest, accurate weather data is critical for tracking environmental conditions that affect transformer performance. “Our outside equipment has AC units but I need to have data on our transformers both inside and outside of the cabinets," Mike explained. “It is very important to monitor ambient temperature as we have had AC units fail. We use (the weather station) ...
