Notification SOP Purpose

To provide statewide uniformity for
local jurisdictions to request additional
resources specifically for assistance in
managing hazardous material or WMD
incidents.
Notification SOP Rationale

The Ohio Fire Service Emergency Response System
(OFSERS) serves as the basis for the notification
procedure. When a community is affected by a
hazardous material / WMD incident, the incident
commander will initially request additional assistance
by utilizing any local mutual aid agreements. When
the local jurisdiction is no longer able to obtain
additional assistance through local mutual aid, they
may choose to activate the OFSERS by calling the
Central Dispatch Center and requesting additional
hazardous material / WMD assistance in the form of a
Special Team Response – HazMat.
Notification SOP Procedure

All requests for OFSERS assistance will
be processed through the Central
Dispatch Center. The contact number
for the OFSERS Central Dispatch
Center is 1-888-822-4900.
Notification SOP
Procedure (cont.)

When Central Dispatch is contacted the following
questions will be asked of the caller:
– Name of the affected jurisdiction and the name
of the fire department responsible for providing
service to that community.
– Name of the calling agency; name and rank of
caller, Call back and Fax numbers.
– Incident Commander’s info (name, rank, and
department) requesting assistance.
– Specific type of emergency if known. (Chemical,
Biological, Radiological, Transportation, Fixed


When Central Dispatch is contacted the following
questions will be asked of the caller:
– Level of HazMat Team needed - if known.
– The location of a Staging Area utilizing an easily
identifiable area that can be identified on a
highway map (gas station map).
– The type of response needed: SCRAMBLE (Enroute
within 30 minutes and be able to be on site for up
to 12 hrs.) or LONG TERM (Enroute within 3 hours
and be able to be on site for up to 12 hours.
Additional teams may be called if necessary for
operational periods that exceed 12 hours.

radio frequency, and or cell phone numbers for
command and control communications.
