The building is located at 91 N. Sandusky St. in downtown Delaware, at the northwest corner of Sandusky Street and Central Avenue.

The drills will take place during normal business hours, 8 AM to 5 PM, each day.

[widgets_on_pages id=1]The “HazMat” exercise, which is being conducted by the Delaware County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (EMA), will involve first responders and representatives from a variety of fire, law enforcement and emergency medical services agencies in Delaware County.

Passersby are likely to see first responders entering and exiting the historic courthouse building, dressed in Personal Protective Gear (PPE) or “oompa loompa” suits, as they are sometimes called. The perimeter of the building and its parking lot also will be roped off, and a variety of emergency vehicles will be parked nearby.
