HAZMAT Cascade Trailer
This Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Cascade trailer was designed and manufactured by Mobile Concepts for the Fire Emergency Services & HAZMAT Special Operations Team at the Charleston Air Force Base in SC. This specialized trailer is equipped with a 6,000-psi SCBA refilling system located in the rear section, allowing for on-scene canister refills during emergency operations. The trailer’s command area enables it to be used in coordination with the two CBRNE Response trailers that the base had also ordered from Mobile Concepts, thus enhancing their overall emergency response and preparedness abilities.
