(Brian Ramesy - Emergency Response Training Group) During this session, participants will witness the dynamic tendencies of hazardous materials brought to life through Physical and Chemical Properties demonstrations. During this lecture flash points, flammable range, boiling point, vapor pressure, auto ignition temperature, molecular weight, vapor density, and solubility will be demonstrated. This lecture will also demonstrate the properties of liquefied compressed gases as well as cryogenics. These high energy fast-paced demonstrations will leave the audience / students with a keen awareness of fire behavior and hazardous materials. Participants will have a better understanding of how to apply physical and chemical properties to fire behavior and hazard assessments. During the lecture we will dive into highway transportation and rail transportation and examine the risk reduction by applying chemical and physical properties and container behavior to improve hazmat response outcomes.
