This page provides access to Hazardous Materials Standard Operating Guidelines (SOGs), bulletins, and worksheets for a variety of high-risk and emerging hazardous materials incidents. These documents are intended to support initial incident recognition, size-up, and first responder–level actions, including scene safety, isolation, notifications, and early operational considerations.

While these resources outline technician- and specialist-level mitigation strategies, they are provided for situational awareness and operational understanding only. Advanced mitigation actions are to be performed by the SDFD HazMat Team in coordination with our partner agencies.

Company Officers and first responders should use these materials to guide safe initial actions, informed decision-making, and effective integration with the HazMat Team during hazardous materials incidents.
