Main Objective

The County of Northampton proposes to purchase 1,320 gallons of Universal Gold Foam concentrate that would be used to respond to any large-scale pipeline or flammable liquid incidents in the County of Northampton and all contiguous counties. The applicant also plans to purchase a multi-gas detector and large structure ventilator to enhance and strengthen emergency response capabilities. The equipment and supplies will enhance response capabilities and will reduce response times to mitigate environmental damage that an extended response time would amplify.
