County of Erie Department of Emergency Services - HAZMAT Regional Response Team
Buffalo, New York

From Hackney:
Erie County Emergency Services provides a regional response team for hazmat incidents in the greater Buffalo area. In an attempt to consolidate the vast array of equipment and supplies required for all types of incidents they selected Hackney to design a tandem axle 38-ft trailer with 16 interior compartments and four roof top compartments.

The trailer has awnings on both sides for staging and rehab operations. One compartment over the fifth wheel is dedicated to all instruments and features 120VAC power strips for recharging from either the shorepower or generator. Twelve complete SCBA’s are mounted on a single slide-out rack with spare bottle storage tubes located adjacent. Dedicated compartments are provided for 95-gallon and 55-gallon overpack drums and hand carts.

The 25kw tractor mounted PTO generator provides power for the light tower, four upper side body flood lights, removable tripod flood lights and cord reels.

The trailer is multiplexed and fully compatible to the V-Mux system on the Spartan tractor. All lighting, including emergency lights, are LED.
