The Region V Hazmat Team formed in 1994 to better protect the citizens of the region in the case of a Hazardous Material incident. Prior to 1994, local fire departments and businesses were tasked to protect citizens, but the prohibitive costs of equipment and training made this more and more difficult. The region was formed and an agreement signed with the Fort Dodge Fire Department to provide the service to the nine county region from Fort Dodge.
