Incident Command Responsibilities
 Note: Hazmat Technician Level Training is conducted
through the Training Division and the members of the
Hazardous Materials Response Team (HMRT) at
station 98. Hazmat Technician tactical standards are
beyond the scope of this chapter.

3 Hazmat Strategies
 Non-intervention
 Defensive
 Offensive
*Exceptions are three mission specific
compentencies
Immediate Concerns &
Primary Objectives
 Immediate Concerns (Ops level)





Isolate the area & deny entry
Evacuate or shelter-in-place
Dike/dam/divert runoff
Eliminate ignition sources
Cool tanks if appropriate
 Primary Objectives (typically not Ops level)




Extinguish fires
Control gas or vapor clouds
Stop leaks (plug or patch)
Turn off valves
