This warning came through my local EMS authority and was distributed amongst all of our employees. It is really an eye opener as it shows a good example of how approaching the unknown could cost you your life.
Please read through the attached document and pay attention to the details of the chemical used.
The document outlines a story about a young man that committed suicide by mixing chemicals to make a deadly gas. He was found in his car on the side of the road. Fortunately, he posted papers on his windows warning people not to open the door without calling hazmat and using proper protective equipment. Had he have not done that, the rescuers could have been killed or severely disabled with one breath.
Please read this and pass along the information so this doesn’t harm anyone. The next attempt might be so nice as to post warnings. Also, be warned that photos of the scene including the dead body are included.
