Hazmat
The Haz-Mat team is comprised of 30 personnel trained to the Technician Level and supported by the remainder of the department who are trained to the Operations Level. We are also supported by and train with teams from surrounding departments and the 61st Civil Support Team out of Little Rock.
The team is divided into 5 groups: Air monitoring/Sampling, Protective Equipment, Communications/Research, Decontamination and Spill Control with two specialists in charge of each group.
We respond not only in Fayetteville, but when requested, anywhere in Northwest Arkansas. In addition to emergency mitigation, team members will conduct air monitoring at events where a large number of people are present.
