Text: Cleaning & Disinfecting
A truck is passing along a farm. The point of view is from inside the vehicle. We see a barn and fences through the windshield.
On screen speaker: CFIA cleaning and disinfecting staff member Ulysse Marion is driving an SUV.
My name is Ulysse Marion. I'm from the Manitoba region. I work for CFIA at the Emerson port of entry. I'm a multi-commodity inspector there.
A truck is turning into the driveway of a property.
A sign is stapled on a pole in front of the driveway of a farm. The sign says: No Access. Under Quarantine.
Tree CFIA staff are gathered in a garage. They discuss with a producer.
My role during this deployment has been with the C&D. C&D is cleaning and disinfection.
A CFIA staff is on a field. He is taking notes on a paper notepad. The ground is covered with snow and the wind is blowing.
Montage of tree CFIA staff discussing with a two producer and taking pictures and notes of empty equipment: livestock pens, squeeze chute and feeders.
We come out to these premises as we are today and what we do is document all the equipment that he would have been using or wherever the cattle would have come in contact: the water, the mineral buckets day, the feeders - whether there's some feed leftovers - the equipment that would have been used. Anything like that we want to document, take pictures of and send it to the next team so that they can come up with the C&D plan for this gentleman here.
Off screen speaker: CFIA cleaning and disinfecting HAZOP specialist Scott Sawa.
Montage of Scott Sawa putting together drone equipment.
I'm Scott Sawa, I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba, and right now I'm acting as the regional HAZOP specialist. I've been deployed for about two weeks.
On screen speaker: CFIA Cleaning and Disinfecting HAZOP specialist Scott Sawa.
My main role is working in the cleaning and disinfection department and I'm the drone operator.
Scott Sawa is walking, holding a drone in his right hand.
So we use a drone to map out the corrals and the home quarters in order to get a better picture of area.
A drone is taking off and getting about 100 feet in the air.
Scott Sawa is controlling the drone with a remote.
The drone is turning in the air.
Scott Sawa makes the drone land next to him on a snow covered ground.
This is the first time we're using the drone for the TB outbreak. The drone allows us to get a better picture of the home area and that way we don't have to draw out the map and the picture gives us a way better detailed description of the area.
