Since Engine 165 has a Hazmat unit why would they need Hazmat 1 ?

It was Sq8, E168, T86. ESU squad 5 responded on the extrication. Basically was right next to the sanitation depot. West Service Road/Muldoon

Since Engine 165 has a Hazmat unit why would they need Hazmat 1 ?

HazMat units are tiered in thier capabilities, HazTech engine and then Squads have lesser capabilities, equipment, training, etc than HM*1.
