5-1-1 & 5-1-2 are both 2003 models. And they are both beat to death. And some parts have had to be manufactured in order to replace them. The rigs are way to big and heavy. A two piece set of box rigs is a much better idea. We are down to no spare rigs that are practical or safe to be used properly. The finance department needs to open the wallet and get new rigs going now to replace the current rigs.

Mike the current 511 is a 2002 ALF. 22 years old. I find it funny that the new O’hare engine and this new hazmat have firetech scene lighting on the cab, but the newer engines/ladders do not. Really weird.

I look forward to seeing this come together. Looks like it’ll have some nice scene lighting on it!

How old are the current ALF hazmat rigs? ALF has been debunked for quite some time now so these things have to be pretty old now.

The Haz Mat replacements for 511 and 512 are supposed to be 2 piece units. The first is the HazMat Squad and the 2nd is supposed to be a Support or a Supply Unit. That is what I have picked up so far.

Disregard, finally noticed the title of the post “New Hazmat Unit”

Is this replacing one of the Rosenbauer squads or any of the hazmat/specialty rigs or is this a new rescue company?
