Did you know that you are supposed to learn how to operate an air monitor? Yes, even firefighters must understand the little doo-hickey that we have on our fire engines, we don’t even need to look into hazmat on this one.

In this webinar, Chris Pfaff from www.HazmatAndRescue.com will go over the basic operation of air monitors, how the sensors work, and what do when it goes into alarm. He will also discuss tricks on how to understand why the monitor alarms when it does and how to remember the finer details of air monitors.
