Although the new Squad 9 is built on a commercial chassis, it maintains the same attack hose lines and equipment as the previous unit. However, it no longer includes a cascade system or an inflatable boat. We have made arrangements to bring in the inflatable boat via another vehicle when needed, ensuring we still have all necessary resources for emergency operations.
