February 12, 2026 — The Ferrisburgh Fire Department hosted this year’s County HazMat Refresher Class, presented by the Addison County Fire Association (ACFA).


The refresher is a mandatory annual training requirement for individuals who have previously completed their Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) certification. The course reviews current safety regulations, reinforces hazardous materials response procedures, and ensures responders maintain the knowledge and skills necessary to safely mitigate hazardous material incidents.


Firefighters from across the county gathered for the classroom-based training, strengthening regional preparedness and interagency coordination.


Ferrisburgh Fire Department expressed appreciation to the Addison County Fire Association for organizing and delivering the important annual training opportunity for county members.
