Hyatt Regency Hotel 12/12/2006
« on: December 12, 2006, 04:36:13 PM »
Several MFS fire trucks, MFS Command car, MFS Breathing Aparatus vehicle and two SAAS paramedic vehicles out the front of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, North Tce tonight.

The vehicle entrances to the Hyatt have been blocked at North Tce by safety cones with SAPOL monitoring.

Then I read the GRN pager messages:

robert... i think you may be confusing two seperate incidents....

unless i am out of the loop, but the job that was a drum of salt was at snowtown as far as i am aware.

Trucks left reasonably quickly, so not sure what happened.

But ti started myself thinking about the logistics of evacuating (how many floors or the whole building), shutdown of aircon, decom of staff, dealing with media, etc, etc..
