Emergency response teams and chemical assessment teams are authorized to secure for use during an emergency response any technical assistance or specialized equipment necessary to safely and properly respond to an incident. When the incident involves explosives, explosive devices, incendiary devices, or shock-sensitive explosive chemicals, the teams must first request assistance from a Minnesota Department of Public Safety-authorized bomb squad. The cost of this assistance and equipment will be considered an actual cost of the team's response, recoverable from the responsible party.
