This drill occurred at Hoffman-LaRoche Carolina Plant. This plant is a large producer of pharmaceuticals, and does extensive research into new and experimental drugs and treatments. The potential for a hazard to occur is very great, and the nature of the research means that the items could potentially be unknown to the regular medical community. Stringent efforts to prevent contamination and control the scene are required on such incidents.

	Units arrive on scene. Since there is a visible plume, indicating danger, no closer entry to the scene is made at this time.
	Firefighter units with SCBA arrive and start setting up a Command Post and Control Deployment Point with EMS and other arriving agencies.
	A good Command Post has been set up, with available power, communications, and lighting if the on-scene time is prolonged. All entry to and from the scene will flow past this point, to control access, limit exposure, and maintain accountability of patients and property.
	An area for suiting up personnel into environmental isolation suits has been set up. They will be placed into protective gear here and a set of baseline vital signs will be taken.
	The personnel entering the scene will be closely monitored upon their return from the scene. Their vital signs will be compared to the ones taken earlier, to see if there has been any compromise in their health, and they will be examined for signs of contamination.
