Ithaca Fire Department firefighters Joel Cadberry, pointing the hose, and John Cook spray volunteer chemical disaster "victims" before they enter a decontamination shower near Stocking Hall, Sept. 13, during the Tompkins County emergency management disaster drill, on campus. At left, volunteer Gail Felker plays a panicked mother. First responders and health, safety and public-information personnel from Tompkins County, the city of Ithaca, Cornell, Ithaca College, the American Red Cross, Cayuga Medical Center and other area governmental and nonprofit agencies took part in the drill, which simulated a poisonous phosgene gas exposure during an event at the campus's Livestock Pavilion on Judd Falls Road.
