Hazardous Materials

Hazardous Materials are a fact of modern life. Many of the things we take for granted every day, such as fueling our cars, having our clothes dry cleaned, having your pictures developed, etc., all involve hazardous materials. Hazardous materials, when handled properly and in their normal containment, do not represent a hazard. However, when misused and out of their normal containment, hazardous materials can be harmful, and sometimes deadly.

The Chino Valley Fire District Fire Prevention Division regulates hazardous materials to prevent spills and releases and also provides Technical Reference in the event of a hazardous materials emergency.
