Certified Unified Program Agency / Hazardous Materials Program

As part of the Fire Prevention Bureau, the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) / Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Program conducts inspections that focus on HazMat management including regulations pertaining to aboveground and underground storage tanks. In the City of Burbank, Hazardous Waste Management is regulated by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
