The Metro-Washington Airport Authority HAZMAT - Washington, D.C.

From Hackney:
The Metro-Washington Airport Authority HAZMAT protects both the Ronald Reagan National Airport and Dulles International Airport, two of the nations busiest. The hazardous materials response team was given the task of replacing an existing apparatus dedicated to this type of response with a modern apparatus that provided a high volume storage capability. They selected a Hackney DF1173R with custom modifications to meet their specific requirements.

The 24-foot body features a recessed roof with four additional "coffin" style storage compartments. Storage capacity is a whopping 755 cu.ft., excluding the right front command compartment and the roof compartments. A one-man command module is provided in the right front compartment that has an independent air conditioner and heater, desk and reference. The command operations can be extended beneath the right side mounted awning.

The body is mounted on a Kenworth T300. The multiplexed electrical system provides state-of-the-art performance of the emergency lights, scene lights, and all other 12VDC electrical components. Generator power is provided by a 25KW PTO for powering the six body mounted flood lights and multiple outlets.
