Over a dozen public and private agencies, departments, businesses, and emergency response units worked together in a complex simulated disaster exercise in Rock Springs on June 8th. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says the simulated incident addressed the fictional scenario of a chlorine spill from a railroad tank car near the Halliburton complex on Blairtown Road west of Rock Springs.
Law enforcement set up roadblocks and an emergency command post. Memorial Hospital of Rock Springs also participated by treating people who acted as though suffering from chemical exposure.
The exercise took place at about 9 AM on June 8th and was completed by noon. At a debriefing later, participants and observers made a detailed evaluation of the operation.
