Haz-Mat 2

    Engine-3's crew also mans Haz-Mat 2 which is first due on all hazardous material emergencies. It is capable of both containment and disposal of hazardous material spills as well as decontamination of victims.  Haz-Mat 2 was put to work during the Anthrax scares after the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.
