San Francisco Airport Fire department Hazmat

The San Francisco City Fire department received a new Hazmat unit. So this unit moved over to the airport. When I arrived at the station with the chief the battery of the van was out. But luckily with the help of the Fire fighter on duty they managed to get the Hazmat unit out in the sun for the photo. This is a 1990 Chevrolet/Utilimaster

Special thanks to Chief Casserly and all of the Fire crew on duty.

add commentComments:
This type of van is also quite popular in the US as a Field Incident Command Unit. They are additionally often employed in other special roles, such as air, lighting, rescue, ventilation or foam units, as well as Hazmat duties. Very few departments have modular transporters, so a relatively large fleet of often quite small special-purpose backup units is quite common.

These are normally manned by a driver alone, either a dedicated member or dropped-off an engine. truck or rescue company.

Because this type of high cube, low gross weight van is most popular with bakers, it is often referred to in fire service jargon as a "bread van".
