Kalispell Fire Department HazMat Team called down to Lakeside

Kalispell firefighters Soren Koetter and Josiah Mooney approach and illicit chemical dump in protective gear at the Green Box site in Lakeside on Wednesday, October 21. The chemical was found to be a diluted pesticide which was able to be mitigated. The Kalispell Fire Department HazMat team is one of six regional teams in the state. According to Assistant Fire Chief Jon Campbell this level of gear may look appear to be an "abundance of caution" but it is necessary for the safety of the responders. "We don't know what this chemical is. All we know is someone didn't want to dump it down their drains or on their property," said Campbell. The site was closed most of Wednesday as the chemicals were dealt with. According to a representative from Flathead County Solid Waste the site was still closed Wednesday evening, but very close to being complete. The hoped to have the site re-opened to the public late Wednesday. (Brenda Ahearn/Daily Inter Lake)
