FD hazmat teams in Massachusetts

FD hazmat teams in Massachusetts

(there might also be some private hazmat teams ... and some water
treatment plants with staff trained to handle chlorine leaks ... and
some refrigeration sites with staff trained to handle ammonia leaks]

Mass Dept of Fire Services ... which is under the leadership of the
State Fire Marshal ... has 6 hazmat teams and a maritime hazmat team
and jihat teams etc ... you can look at massfiretrucks or firenews.org
to see the vehicle locations ... they are scattered statewide at
various fire stations

there also seems to be a good number of local FD hazmat teams

based on massfiretrucks listing of hazmat trucks .... it looks like
the following FDs have their own local haz mat teams

Boston
Cambridge
Massport Boston
Westover AFB
JBCC
Worcester ?
Springfield
Quincy
Fall River ?
Newton ?
MWRA ... maybe at Deer Island and/or Clinton and/or Marlborough
Weymouth
Fitchburg
Westfield ?
Everett ?
Webster
Somerville ?
Waltham ?
Sturbridge ?
Woburn ?
pittsfield ? maybe not
Greenfield ? maybe not
Amherst ? maybe not

we could check some of those FD websites for further info ... maybe
their annual reports also

for private sites ... maybe GE in Lynn and GE in pittsfield ... maybe
mit and harvard university ... maybe raytheon ... maybe honeywell ?
... maybe some incinerators ..... maybe the LNG site in Everett ...
maybe the scrap yard in Everett

maybe also national guard and us army lab in natick ???

anyone know if there are any mutual aid agreements between these various teams?

would fbi and dea and arf have hazmat teams in Massachusetts also? you
would think they would
