Special apparatus is mostly based on the demountable system, this is were there is a dedicated prime mover with a hook lift capability, they then hook the pod or container which is required, transport it to the firescene and unload it. They can either then return to station to collect additional pods, or be available for additional incidents.
The system works pretty well to a degree, obviously the pods cant be unloaded on rough terrain or hills, but in an urban area it works well.
This is their Hazmat Pod, carried on a 2008 MAN TGA 6 wheel Prime Mover. It is based at Perry Bar station and when it goes on a run they take their pump along to man it.
