Butler County enjoys a divergent cross-section of industry that includes polymer, metal chemical, agriculture, and manufacturing. Each of these industries utilizes its own special chemicals as raw materials, which are used in the production process. All facets of industry carry the potential for concern of a hazardous materials incident. Prepared to meet this need is the Butler County Regional Hazardous Materials Response Cooperative (BCHMRC.)
The Incident Management Team is an experienced all-hazards incident management team that responds to a broad spectrum of incidents and provides support and incident oversight to local, state, and federal jurisdictions.
Team members are comprised of trained personnel from qualified first responder agencies, including fire, police and other departments. They are all trained as fire investigators and supported through the Butler County Fire Chiefs' Association.
