Hazmat Training + New Rig Tour!

The word on the side of the truck says "Fire Department" but that isn't ALL that we do! Not only do we fight fires, but all our members are also trained in EMS, Rope Rescue, Confined Space, Ice Water Rescue, and Hazmat (to name a few). What does this mean? You'll never have a boring day at work! With the variety in training the Wausau Fire Department provides and our top level instructors, you'll never feel stuck. You'll quickly and continually progress into the person you would want as your partner on a call. If you're a resident of Wausau, you can know that the Wausau Fire Department is ready to answer the call no matter the complexity or danger thanks to the variety of situations they are prepared for!
Not only is the training exciting but the equipment we use on a hazmat call is cool too! That's why we're excited to give you an in-depth look at our Hazardous Incident Response Team Vehicle. There's a lot of technology and tools packed into this rig. Let us know what you find the coolest!
Join the Wausau Fire Department! We’re Hiring!

Wausau Wisconsin?

[@Jacob-mm8xq]

Are those Motorola apx radios intrinsically safe? Our local department got a separate set of apx 8000 radios just for the hazmat team

[@WausauFireDepartment]

Thank you for the question! Yes, all our portable radios are intrinsically safe.

Mutal aid, y'all don't call that MABAS?

You can get hot inside these sealed suits in a hurry. How do these people avoid being sous vide alive when the weather is a heatwave with temperatures over 110 f? Edmonton Fire Rescue actually hooks up medical telemetry sensors to anyone who wears these suits to monitor for sudden onset hypothermia.

[@kevinfreeman3098]

"hyperthermia" would be correct...

[@kevinfreeman3098]

Not the hard work... As Captain of a team that runs incident command, two in the whole State of Illinois, we only take a back seat FEMA, I beg to differ... Check yourself before you wreck yourself. As a young guy my hazmat training began at 17yo in the military and continued on to now being over 40, stacks of certifications, countless hours of study and the responsibility for the safety of everyone on scene along with the general public, yeah, it's the "easy job"... Kick rocks with that noise, I was going to school when y'all had the Wiawega derailment and hazmat situation, that's what first sparked my interest, but you're probably too young to remember that, our team is deployable nation-wide and we also do go hands on for SAR, aided by K9's, technical rope rescues, evidence recovery, etc... but it's the easy job, ok.
