If you're referring to the Dallas HazMat truck, I don't know if it's in service. I imagine it's probably cross-staffed likely by the Rescue company at the same station. If you're referring to the Portland Squad, it's actually a decade old (2012) and has now been reassigned to Squad 12. I don't...

Not a lot of windows in a store like that. It's probably difficult to cut the roof like that as well.

Are foam trucks sent to these fires? I'm not that familiar with it but it seems like foam may be needed to extinguish these fires or do the engines carry enough foam to handle?
