What signal does the Safety Battalion respond to?

The Safety Battalion responds to a 10-80 Code 1 signal, which signifies a Hazardous Materials incident requiring their specialized training and resources. This code is integral in providing a structured response to hazardous situations, ensuring that safety measures are prioritized, and that operations are conducted with the expertise needed to handle hazardous materials effectively.

Responses to hazardous materials incidents can be complex and require precise coordination among various units. The 10-80 Code 1 specifically triggers the Safety Battalion's deployment, which focuses on assessing the hazard, establishing a safe perimeter, and executing containment and mitigation strategies.

Understanding this protocol helps responders act swiftly and effectively, ensuring safety for both the public and emergency personnel when a hazardous materials incident is present.
