On November 17, 2007 the MABAS 24 hazardous materials team participated at a combined agency drill at the Joliet Chicago land speedway. The scenario has terrorist related with multiple devices and teams working together to mitigate the situation. Teams included MABAS 10, Joliet FD Hazmat, Grundy County EMA, Will County EMA, the Army CST unit and our own MABAS 24 team. MABAS 24 and MABAS 10 worked together as a team and did a great job. These are a few photos of the operation.
