Hazardous Materials
Heavy rescue vehicles can also be outfitted specifically as hazardous material response vehicles. In this role, they carry the necessary specialized equipment to respond to and deal with hazardous material incidents. Apart from a pump and tank(s) for water and/or foam, they will carry things like chemical protection suits, decontamination supplies, material for absorption of chemicals, and supplies to plug leaks in storage tanks.
