Containment 69 ready for service
By Captain Corey Hostetler
February 28, 2008
The Twin Valley Fire Department is ready to place into service a 2007 Wells Cargo containment / command trailer. The volunteers have been working over the past couple of months getting the trailer ready for service by installing shelves, radios, emergency lighting, and getting it lettered and striped.
Inside the trailer is a small mobile command area which includes several radios for communications, a desktop computer, and general items for recordkeeping. A 7.5 KW gasoline generator powers the unit, and assist in being independant on the fireground. Four 500 watt lights around the sides provide lighting for nightime operations. On the passenger side, a retractable awening provides shelter during inclimate weather. The trailer is also equipped with heat and air conditioning.
The twenty four foot long trailer provides ample storage for hazmat supplies and containment operations. Squad 69-2 will be the primary unit used to transport the trailer to its destinations.
