Most firefighters suited up “for training” after the cleanup had started. Very few people actually ever participated in the initial phases.

I remember cleaning up hydrochloric acid with just bicarb and a pushbroom... this seems like overkill, even including offloading it into a different container tbh. Not that we did it the safest, though.
