“First Responder Authentication Credential –FRAC”

We face new challenges post 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, we need new ways of organizing and managing our response.  The Department of Homeland Security is now involved in rolling out “FRAC” –First Responder Authentication Credential, which will dramatically improving the way we respond to even the worst imaginable crisis. 

“New HAZMAT/ Anti-Terrorist Technology with the L.A.F.D.”


Since 9/11 fire departments and Hazmat crews nation wide must now be ready to respond to a complex set of emergencies, which can involve strange substances, gas, hazardous chemicals.  We follow the L.A.F.D. on a Hazmat call, they carry a new piece of equipment, approved and designation as an Anti-Terrorist Technology by the Department of Homeland Security under the SAFETY Act for homeland security, first responders & firefighting control.  This technology improves detection and identification of chemical warfare agents, and toxic chemicals in the air, on personnel, on equipment, in facilities, on the ground.
