The heading of the post says hazmat truck, but I don't see that wording on the unit. Is this a special hazmat unit, or a generic major unit response unit? Either way, nice looking truck. It appears to have a Federal Q, which is, after all, critical. Unless it is a fake federal. Either way, I look forward to working alongside the YPD ESU with this new gear.

I think it has an NFPA diamond hazmat symbol on the back roll up door of the truck

Wow... Thats a sweet ride. Hope it works perfect for years to come. And yes, its a real Q.

What exactly is the purpose of a 12 FOOT digital clock and where do ya keep that?

And a serious question, I've noticed one of the County's MDU trailers outside the 2nd Pct on Central Avenue lately. I thought it was there for Engine 307 as part of their haz-mat support role but when I looked closer, I saw that it had PD logos on it. Is the PD doing mass decon now?
