SQUADs
These specialized units are often dispatched to scenes of large fires or other emergency situations where their experience, knowledge, skills and specialized equipment are needed to assist other companies.
HAZMAT UNIT / UNIDAD MATERIALES PELIGROSOS
HaZMat stands for "Hazardous Materials," and the job of the HAZMAT team is to respond to any situation where harmful vapors, gasses, fluids, unknown powders or airborne materials are present. Equipped with specialized suits, tools and meters, the Hazmat teams are specialists in evacuating any people from the area, and then containing, collecting, dispersing or removing the harmful substance.
MARINE UNIT / UNIDAD MARINA
It responds to ship and pier fires and other water-related emergencies with special boats that carry big spools of large-diameter hoses. These fireboats have tremendous pumps that can suck water directly from the river or harbor and spray through their deck-mounted nozzles.
AVIATION UNIT / UNIDAD DE AVIACIÓN
This unit uses both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft to fight fires and rescue people. Largely used in wildfires thus working tight to Battalion 6 (hence the livery in some aircraft).
New vehicles will be added.
