New Haven, ct also has a volunteer group, box 22 associates, they have an older step van, I think the group is run by a former fire commissioner and is all volunteer, not sure how active they now but the I am pretty sure they usually make it out to multipul alarms that are doubt full

Los Angeles City FD has a reletively unique concept:  "Rehabilitation & Air Tender" units, of which it has at least 3:  RAT 28, RAT 59, and RAT EA-1. They're kind of like a combination Mask Service Unit and RAC.  They also have toilets on them.  It also has a volunteer-operated rehab unit which runs an old ambulance.  All can be seen at:

How do other departments make toilet facilities available at large or long term incidents?

Not sure if this is permanent, but RAC5 has primarily responded out of Marine 9 lately.

Here in Lee County FL, the American Red Cross provides these services to local fire departments.  We provide a good  deal of assistance during wildfire seasons.  I am on one of these Red Cross teams.
