Muskegon County's HAZMAT team formed more than three-decades ago, and for now the team will continue to be an asset available to fire departments in the county. A effort to dissolve the team, and liquidate the team's equipment was opposed by fire chiefs in the county. Joining the chief's in opposition Tuesday afternoon were six members of the county's ways and means committee. The committee defeated a motion to liquidate the HAZMAT team by a 6-2 vote. The motion will not move on the the full county board for a vote. But the motion made earlier in November and again Tuesday by Muskegon County Commissioner Zach Lahring did spark a public conversation about where the team will store its two trucks, two trailers and other equipment. Those items are currently stored inside a county-owned hanger at the Muskegon County Airport in Norton Shores.
