	Description:		It's at almost every single fire we fight. In homes, businesses and vehicles. It kills in a similar fashion to another poisonous gas that we are all TOO familiar with - CO. And it's damned hard to tell the difference...at first! Capt.(ret) Dennis Tucker of the Providence RI Fire Dept. tells us a frightening tale of how two fires in the City of Providence, almost killed two different firefighter's within hours of each other. And...how Hydrogen Cyanide gas (also known as Prussic Acid) almost killed a dear friend and even, Capt. Tucker, himself! Yet, far too many of us either do not know the particulars or do, but only in passing. Capt. Tucker, relying on both his own experience and knowledge, as well as an important article from the June 2006 Fire Engineering Magazine by Chief Curt Varone, shares many of the most important facts about this killer; where it's found, the symptoms of HCN poisoning and treatments. Did you know about the dangers of HCN before this episode? Did you know the facts or had you just heard about it peripherally? We are asking you, our listeners, to answer those questions with a quick email to us at Dalmatprod@O0utlook.com and let us what you knew about HCN before this episode with Capt. Tucker. It will only take you a minute or two, but you might save a life!
