Is there any thought on purchasing a single apparatus to be used as a Hazmat truck? Rather than carrying the hazmat equipment on separate units (ie. Squad 52 and MAC 1). <br> Why not utilize Squad 52's apparatus strictly as a Technical Rescue truck. Then, get a new custom Hazmat truck with a command center, computers, fax, phones, hazmat suits, weather station, complete hazmat mitigation equipment, etc. <br> Is there a sufficient supply of Decon equipment for a mass decon incident? Maybe another unit may be designed strictly as a Decon unit. Since Truck 14 is the Decon Team, they could run the Decon truck and Squad 52 could operate the Hazmat.

With the degree of technical training required to operate the various equipment on the 52's, and with the amount of personnel needed to properly utilize the gear, isn't it realistic that Squad 52 should actually have 5 firefighters on the rig per shift?
