Can someone please tell me what the manning is on Hazmat 1? Also when does Hazmat 1 respond to an incident?
 
Boston.........In the past the manning for Haz Mat 1  was  1 officer & 7 firefighters......The unit is special called to incidents such as fuel oil leaks ,  gasoline leaks,  transformers leaking fluids  propane tanks, ect......There are many possibilities as to why they would be special called to a box
 
HazMat 1 is a 2012 EVI on a Spartan chassis. This rig is assigned to Boston Homeland Region and consists of: Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Revere, Somerville, and Winthrop. This rig was funded through Urban Security funding and the rig will be available to all. Rig is in a BFD house, a 1/7 manning is kinda difficult to understand, BFD is 1 and3/4, usually 3.

Grump I believe the question was regarding the staffing of the FDNY Hazmat 1, not the Boston unit. Boston HM 1 while  purchased with the UASI money is almost dedicated to BFD.  Somerville houses, Revere both house units from Massachusetts Department of Fire Services Haz Mat and each of the communities are members of the Regional Team.
