How are hazardous materials dealt with?
We have a hazardous material squad, along with a vehicle fully equipped with the appropriate materials for controlling a hazardous spill. The dozen firefighters on the hazardous materials squad are a highly qualified team that will make a determination of the hazardous incident, determine the appropriate clothing to be used and what steps will be taken to contain the material and reduce the risk to the public. A commercial company will be used for cleanup and disposal.
