Question

Based on this paragraph, in which disaster would the HMRU most likely be involved?

Hazardous Materials Response Units (HMRU) identify the chemicals involved, as well as the depth and nature of the hazmat, or hazardous materials, incident. Additionally, the HMRU will attempt to restrict the movement of any hazardous substances. Many fire departments strategically place their HMRU around the city to ensure that all geographical areas are covered. One unit may be specifically designated for an area’s airport if the airport does not have its own HMRU.
