A tanker overturns at the Chemours Fayetteville Works plant, spilling potentially deadly chemicals. Are emergency responders ready? That was the purpose of a training exercise Saturday morning at the plant which straddles the Bladen and Cumberland County lines on N.C. 87.
About two dozen Bladen County EMS, fire and law enforcement joined emergency personnel from Cumberland County and the Chemours plant to review what to do if such an emergency happened.
“Certainly, the major objective of this exercise is making sure our policies and protocols in working with Cumberland County, as well as Chemours fire and EMS folks, fit nicely into one organizational structure,” Bladen County EMS director Bradley Kinlaw said.
Other agencies that participated Saturday included the Cumberland County Department of Social Services and Department of Public Health; American Red Cross, and Cape Fear Valley EMS.
