IN the winter time they are very bad because all the boats are out of the water but king marina is junk yard for boats it is a hazards to get in there

I would agree with the chief that IBM in Somers presents a lot of problems. Also, PEPSI - with all of the corrosives used it would be a huge chemical hazard. Some areas of the town (such as South Somers) present a problem because of the lack of water sources - Tanker drills are IMPORTANT.

Meth-Labs...we have a bunch of them We responded to a mutual aid structure once where upon our arrival the initial attack crews were beating feet out the front door. We couldnt for the life of us see why. It was a working fire on the exposure "C" side first floor of a 2 1/2 story wood frame. We thought pump problems or something else we obviously didnt see but then the chief of their dept shouted over to us to stay clear of the building, mask up and start hitting it from the outside. Then they started de-con on their guys and we started feeling a little nervous!

Turned out they had a meth-lb on the entire first floor, and the crews from Sharon Springs crawled into the front door and saw it almost immediately and backed right out. Thank god we had a rash of Meth-Lab classes from the State Troopers the previous year.

Cobleskill Stone Products. We have 2 large quarries in our area loaded with stone slurry and more methylethylbadsh#@ than you can imagine and large, crumbling buidings that have been there for 50+ years that they are re-furbing.

Eden Park Nursing home, Cobleskill Hospital, 4-5 ARC homes, but I have to agree with ALS also, every building has its hazards.

Other than those beauties...we have a large factory building at least 2-3 city blocks long and 1-2 blocks wide that USED to house a company called "Interknitting" but now is 3/4 empty. It is mostly storage for Wal-Mart now and is loaded floor to ceiling with combustibles. The flammable liquid storage tanks are still on premises and the utilities are still on. It is a problem because the teenagers like to hang out there on weekends. Just waiting for the call.....

So I can man the firehouse and make coffee.

In our mutual aid respone to the town next to us is a cheminal processing plant complete with two full rail tanker cars of liquid chlorine. That place scares me so much.
