[Scan-DC] Autumn drive, silver spring incident

[Dewey]

Yes, the Vicks "trick" has been around for years.  I also had a sergeant who
said that was why he always carried cigars.  The final trick, but not
politically correct when media was present... gas mask.  Don't laugh, they
work!

Oh, Yum!  I was involved with one of these 30+ years ago, before they issued
hazmat suits, (and Rescue didn't let you waste Scott packs for this) and the
best you could do was a glob of Vicks Vapo-Rub under your nose before
entering the scene (as I recall it was a MCP detective that provided it!)
