Chief, Fire Department DATE: 11/02<br />

Unit 791, a trailer equipped with hazardous material response equipment is available as a special call unit for<br />

county wide response. This vehicle is available to the incident commander of any first responding agency<br />

within the county, to assist with a hazardous material emergency, on an as needed basis.<br />

Due to the special requirements and nature of this equipment, any requests for its use also requires the<br />

commander. However, all assignments shall be done with operational safety guidelines in mind.<br />

The following units are equipped to move unit 791; units 790, 51-01, and 711. These units shall be selected<br />

according to their availability in the following order - 790, 51-01, 711. No person or persons shall attempt<br />

to transport unit 791 without first demonstrating to the satisfaction of the training division sufficient skills to<br />

do so safely.<br />

Anytime the Special Operations Trailer is dispatched to a hazardous materials incident within the county, a<br />

College Station Fire Department Engin will also be dispatched for support of our personnel.<br />

The Fire Chief and the Assistant Chief will be notified when unit 791 responds to unincorporated areas of<br />

Brazos County, or responds outside Brazos County.<br />
