OK thanks. So which Ladder Company has the Haz-Mat Truck?

 

[mack]

BFD Hazmat 1 is located at Engine 22. Staffing usually is 4 members on Engine 22 and 1 additional driver for Hazmat rig - all Hazmat technicians. There are also 4 BFD companies with Hazmat trained members who would respond with Hazmat 1 for incidents according to Hazmat level. Companies are: E 33, L15, E 16, L 53. BFD also has Hazmat Tango specialists who respond to Hazmat incidents as special called.

Engine 22, Hazmat 1, and Tango 3 of the Boston Fire Department (Massachusetts) responding to a level-three Hazmat incident 6/2018:





Boston Fire Department Engine Company 22 and the Hazmat 1 truck arriving on scene of a possible hazardous materials incident. You will also see Boston Fire Decon 1, Engine 33, Boston EMS Supervisor Tahoe, a Boston Police van, two unmarked Boston Police Special Operations pick up trucks and a Boston Fire unmarked Ford Expedition.

BFD also has several engines designated as Decon Companies. I think they are E 39, E 9, E 41. Probably 1 or 2 more .
