Hazardous
Materials
Hazardous materials are a daily part of our lives. The Fire
Department employs a Hazardous Materials Specialist to enforce hazardous
materials life safety requirements, respond to hazardous materials
incidents, and provide expertise to the public.
All of our firefighters have received extensive training in handling
hazardous materials incidents. This training handles the emergency
response and initial mitigation of hazardous materials incidents.
Fire Fighters receive annual training to refresh skills in hazardous
materials.
The Department is an active participant with the Western Wayne County
Fire Department Mutual Aid Association’s Hazardous Incident Response
Team, which is made up of members representing 21 communities in Oakland
and Wayne counties.
