Members of Bristol Virginia Fire Department shift C from all stations were gathered for their Radiological Training on Thursday in Bristol, Virginia. All members of the department were required to attend the training as part of the Quarterly Hazmat Training. Classroom and hands on training was scheduled over the past three days. The Virginia Department of Emergency Management and the U. S. Department of Energy sponsored the training. Medical grade radioactive material was used to give the fire fighters real readings on their equipment instead of simulation.
