Ambulance staff in the inner cordon

Hazardous Area Response Teams (HART) are specially recruited and trained personnel who provide the ambulance response to major incidents involving hazardous materials, or which present hazardous environments, that have occurred as a result of an accident or have been caused deliberately.

Who we work with and what we do

They can work alongside fire and rescue services within the inner cordon, known as the ‘hot zone’ of a major incident. Their job is to treat casualties and to save lives in very difficult circumstances. They are also there to care for other emergency personnel who could be or may have been injured as a result of an incident.
