Call came in for a unknown white powder coming from a Fedex Envelope that was feared to be Anthrax at the David Bruce Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This is the 6th such incident in our area in the past month .. So we rolled a full Hazmat response...Battalion Chief, Unit Safety Officer,5 engines, Hazmat lab, LEO's. We had 15 contaminated workers so we had to set up safety zones, decon, full exclusion zone [our job]...luckily after 2 hours the Hazmat Lab on scene determined the powder was non toxic and there was no health risk...so Law enforcement took over and we packed up and left...
