The Carroll County HazMat Team meets the 2nd and 4th Thursday* of each month at the Carroll County Office Complex (EOC).

The Meeting on the 2nd Thursday of each month is mandatory for all Team members, and includes haz-mat business discussions, voting on important issues, and general haz-mat training and planning. The 4th Thursday of each month is designated as H.O.T. Training (Hands On Training). All Team members are encouraged to attend H.O.T. training to refine skills and participate in additional Team exercies.

We also conduct Pre-Planning visits to area Companies throughout the year, which may or may not fall on one of our regular training dates.

The Carroll County HazMat Team also participates in interagency training with area Fire Departments and Law Enforcement Agencies at a minimum once per quarter. Training with other Departments is generally conducted on the regular training dates of those Departments.

*In the event of Weather Watches and Weather Warnings, training will be postponed to a later date.
