Special Operations

Special Operations or "SPECOPS" refers to those situations that endanger life and require specially trained personnel and equipment to mitigate. In the Fairfield FD, “SPECOPS” is divided by discipline into two distinctive sections: (a) Hazardous Materials Team and (b) Advanced Technical Rescue.

Members assigned to these specialty units are required to complete extensive training and must constantly refresh their skills due to the changing hazards and new technologies.

	Hazardous Materials [HAZMAT] Team Responsible for planning, training and organizing hazardous materials responses by Fairfield fire Department, maintaining equipment and ensuring OSHA compliance and refresher training for both operational and technician personnel. HAZMAT Team Online Resources			Advanced Technical Rescue Responsible for planning, training and organizing confined space, trench rescue, high angle rope and building collapse rescue techniques in accordance with Fairfield Fire Department rescue capabilities and OSHA requirements for operational and technician personnel.
