Top-to-Bottom: 1.) Pete Koerner in a Haz Mat suit testing a potentially hazardous environment (Those suits get really hot after a while.

Pete Koerner teaching Hazardous Materials Response, Recognition, and Identification to Emergency Responders in Tbilisi, Georgia (in the former Soviet Union); 4.) Pete Koerner trying to make U.S. technology work in the old Soviet Union; 5.) Pete at a Haz Mat class at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth, GA; 6.) Pete and Frank — FCFD Haz Mat Technicians (The "Airpaks," or Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), worn by firefighters is the same thing we wear to breathe inside these "hopefully" air-tight suits…); 7.) FCFD Haz Mat Team
