On Tuesday, May 21st, the Phone Duty OSC received a request from the Denver Police Department Bomb Squad for EPA Removal support to dispose of confiscated fireworks being held at the Denver Vehicle Impound Facility.  The Response Duty OSC is using their warrant authority and experience to provide mentoring and a training opportunity for new OSCs to exercise their removal process skills. OSCs met with DPD on Thursday, May 23rd to scope out the ER and get an estimate of the volume of the product. The ER removal action is planned for Thursday, May 30th and will consist of transferring custody of the viable fireworks to a vendor from Wyoming and potential disposal of the remainder.
