What is HAZMAT?
This is a team of firefighters who are able to respond to incidents where hazardous materials are present. The HAZMAT team is comprised of firefighters whose departments are a member of the Western Wayne County Mutual Aid Association. HAZMAT members are able to respond to incidents as a unit or can provide expert consultation to their individual departments. The main benefit of this team is that it offers fire departments a cost-effective way to provide HAZMAT services when needed.
