Hays Firefighters are participating in hazardous materials training this week.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 9a.m. until noon, the fire department is conducting training for the initial response to a hazardous materials spill.

Fire Chief Gary Brown says the training starts each day with a short classroom review, and then moves to hands-on training at the Kiwanis Park on Harvest Drive.

The public is  invited to watch the exercises.
