Looks like part of the FEMA USAR Cache.  I don't think it's HAZMAT stuff.
You can see what looks like TF-1 on them.

Think it's gone now.. Haven't seen it at the ROCK in a long time..

It's shower truck.  This one might still be in service.  However we have several new decon units to replace these older trucks.

Another Shower truck almost 100% that it's also been removed from service.
