Hazardous Materials Unit 2-3, or Hazmat 2-3, is a heavy-duty Hazmat unit built on a 2021 Mack MD6 chassis with a 20' Tri-Van Box. Primarily designed to support the missions of Hazmat 02-1 and 02-2, it also serves as a backup as part of the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) in the event that Hazmat 2-1 and Hazmat 2-2 are unavailable. The vehicle seats six and features modular payloads that can be adapted to different mission needs. Additionally, Hazmat 2-3 is equipped with an insulated box, HVAC system, and a gray water tank, providing the capability for rehabilitation and decontamination operations during harsh weather conditions. Hazmat 2-3 also serves as the central hub for our sUAS (drone) equipment, capable of supporting drone operations from the roof whenever requested, along with the necessary support equipment.
