Smaller design suitable for emergency management in small- to medium-sized locales

The truck can be used for other functions when not pulling the hazardous materials trailer.

The trailer has a 6,000 watt (6 kW) portable gas Onan generator for lighting. The generator
is enclosed to protect it from the elements when not in use.
