From Hackney:
The Boise Fire Department seriously upgraded their haz-mat response capabilities when they took delivery of a Hackney TR1482 Haz-Mat Tractor-Trailer Response Unit. The trailer is a 29 ft. trailer features a total of fourteen 42" deep compartments with a total of 1020 cu.ft. of useable storage space. It is pulled by an International 4900, 4-door tractor with 320 hp engine. The tractor features a 25kw ONAN PTO generator with trailer inter-connects. The generator provides power to a 9000 watt NightScan light tower, two rear mounted 500 watt tri-pod flood lights, cord reel and multiple power outlets. Breathing air is supplied through the RevolveAir carousel fill station and six 6000 psi ASME receivers. A total of eighteen (18) spare SCBA bottle are stored in PVC tubes stacked two wide x nine high. Eight (8) complete SCBAÕs are stored on a slide-out storage rack that permits backup and go donning. A 200 gallon poly water tank is installed in the right rear compartment with a discharge valve on the rear of the trailer that provides an extra source of water for decontamination evolutions. Next to the water tank is an additional decon and eye wash station with 60 gallons of water and recoiling shower and eye flush nozzle. Full length awnings are installed on both sides of the trailer with full enclosure curtains for inclimate weather or privacy. Two (2) two-side 78" high x 36" deep tool boards and space for a 95 gallon overpack drum at floor level take full advantage of the huge space afforded in the body design. The balance of the storage space is arrayed with adjustable shelving and slide-out trays.
