Chicago FD Hazardous Incident Team 5-1-1

This post from Chi-Town Fire Photos highlights the latest updates on Chicago’s Hazmat Company 5-1-1, based out of Engine 16. The unit consists of several specialized vehicles, each with a specific role in responding to hazardous material incidents.

The main unit is Squad 5-1-1, which is a 2002 American LaFrance Eagle heavy rescue truck (FDG534). It serves as the primary hazmat response vehicle, equipped with the tools and gear needed for dangerous substance handling. Alongside it is 5-1-1A, a support vehicle (FDG555), a 2006 International Hackney that carries extra equipment and supplies. Then there's 5-1-11, the mobile lab (FDG569), a 2006 Ford F650 JC Supreme, designed for on-site analysis and decontamination. This unit also includes a robotic system for inspecting suspicious packages, making it a vital asset during high-risk operations.

Additionally, there’s a coordinator vehicle, 5-1-10 (FDB633), a 2018 Ford Explorer, used for command and control during large-scale hazmat incidents.

Here are some recent photos of the unit:
