Which station has HazMat Team?

• A. Station 5
• B. Station 7
• C. Station 9
• D. Station 1

Answer: (D)

HazMat responses rely on a dedicated team and equipment that are assigned to a specific station so they can be dispatched quickly to hazardous-material incidents. The station that houses the HazMat Team is the hub for this specialized capability, with trained personnel, detection gear, containment and decontamination equipment, and the HazMat apparatus. The other stations are assigned to their primary roles (such as operations like firefighting, rescue, or EMS) and don’t carry the HazMat unit on site, so they aren’t the correct source of HazMat response. By knowing which station is designated as the HazMat hub in the department’s deployment plan, you can identify the station that has the HazMat Team.
