WAYNE COUNTY, OHIO, April 30, 2025 ─ The Wayne County Emergency Management Agency, in partnership with Wooster Community Hospital, Wooster Division of Fire, and Wayne County Hazmat, will conduct a planned emergency response training exercise on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The training exercise will simulate a hazardous materials incident and involve emergency response activity near Akron Road and Geyers Chapel Road in the northeastern industrial area of Wooster and at Wooster Community Hospital.
During this time, the public may see emergency vehicles and personnel in protective equipment at both sites.
This will be only a training exercise, not an actual emergency.
This exercise allows local first responders and hospital staff to practice coordinated emergency procedures and enhance their preparedness for real-world hazardous materials incidents.
