EFFINGHAM FIRE DEPARTMENT - SPECIAL OPERATIONS
In recent years, many fire departments have taken on the additional responsibility of providing assistance in mitigating emergencies in areas not traditionally serviced by fire service personnel. While these types of emergencies do occur, personnel with these abilities have joined forces and resources with other members within our MABAS agreement to provide a strong background in training, response, mitigation, and resources that is cost-prohibitive for individual departments. At the present time, the fire department participates in the following regional response programs:
All of these response teams conduct their training on a regular basis to remain proficient in these areas of expertise. Our Haz-Mat Officer is Lt. Jeff Landrus.
