• page 2 3 . With the temperature 100 degrees Fahrenheit there was the physical threat of heat stress for those wearing personal protective equipment . 4 . Because of the debris from the fire there was the danger of slip, trip or fall hazards . It was recommended that a minimum ensemble for protective equipment was : a particulate filter mask, tyvek oversuit, steel-toed rubber boots, gloves, and hard hat . Continuous risk assessments were to be made by the work party and an immediate upgrade in breathing apparatus was to be made if exposed liquid chemicals were encountered. Prior to donning protective equipment, personnel should drink plenty of fluids and fluids should be onscene for rehydration. An incident heat stress policy should be initiated and each member of the work party briefed on the contents . At approximately 1740 hours I was released from the scene . On the evening of August 3 , 1995, I contacted Kasey Foley, lead Senior RENS, and was given approval to supply the investigators with Tyvek coveralls . This information was given to the Fire Marshal' s Office to be forwarded to Larry Navarrette . At approximately 9 : 00 hours on August 4 , 1995, I met Navarrette, Le Blanc, Arganbright, Mike Parissi (OES) , at the above address . The primary objective of the work party to locate and secure any intact chemicals and to cover the identified dry chemicals with plastic . the work party was to consist of Navarrette, Arganbright, and two firefighters/hazarduous materials technicians from the Tracy Defense Depot . Mike Parissi and I held a safety briefing with the work party covering the potential chemical and physical hazards . Partly due to the lack of filter masks and an insufficient number of air purifying respirators, it was decided by the three firefighters that they would use self contained breathing apparatus while in the work area. Navarrette used an air purifying respirator. Released from scene at approximately 14 : 00 hours . On August 9, 1995, Robert McClellon, REHS, and I met with Mr. Wright in his office .
