Hazmat 1A

The second piece to Hazardous Materials Company 1 has been updated! With the large amount of equipment that the Hazardous Materials Team carries, this apparatus was purchased in August 2017. Whereas the main apparatus for HM1 carries the personnel and detection gear, this particular vehicle now hauls the bulky Level A and B suits and the decontamination equipment that were previously stored in Mobile Lab 1 (former Decon 1). In addition, this rig also has containment vessels and absorbent for many chemicals. The compartments on top of the trailer provide extra space for long tools that would not fit in the transverse compartments. This apparatus responds in tandem with Hazmat 1 or can be pressed into service by call-back members should the need arise.
