"This is an intense course," Des Moines Fire Department Captain Bob Suarez said. "What they're getting is an opportunity to combine the book learning and theory behind hazmat operations and put it into practice in a safe scenario so that they're better equipped to make decisions in the do-or-die scenarios they will face in the real world."

DMFD firefighters joined firefighters and law enforcement members from departments across the state in the two-week training that was conducted at Camp Dodge in Johnston, Iowa.
