First Responder Tools for Radiation Detection
Firefighters, HazMat teams, paramedics and other first responders need and deserve the best tools available to help save lives and protect the public when responding to a radiation emergency. The best defense for a first responder is to be well prepared, and when seconds count it’s not only the skill level of the first responder that matters, but to also have the appropriate radiation detection instruments.
