BRISTOL-MYERS
SQUIBB COMPANY
Princeton, New Jersey
The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
is a manufacturer of pharmaceuticals and other healthcare
related products with manufacturing plants around
the world. The Princeton, New Jersey facility is also
known for having one of the best trained and equipped
hazardous materials response teams in the world. To
further enhance their response capabilities, both
on the huge Princeton, New Jersey campus and regional
mutual-aid responses, they have added a Hackney FC0786
Haz-Mat truck to their fleet.
This unique vehicle provides a multitude of capabilities
to the response team from a single apparatus. When
it comes to a quality response, this team cut no corners.
The body is mounted on a Freightliner FL70 with a
Cummins ISC330 engine and Allison MD3060 transmission.
Due to deployment of left and right side awnings with
curtain enclosure for prolonged on scene mitigation
and research operations, a vertical exhaust was specified
to route the exhaust fumes up and away from the work
zones.
The forward section of the body
incorporates a 71" long x 88.5" wide command
center with 74" headroom. This room also provides
transportation seating for three additional technicians
on a rear wall mounted bench seat with SCBA cradles.
Along the forward wall is a full width stainless steel
desk/work counter with four (4) slide-out drawers.
Above the desk are three individual aluminum storage
cabinets for equipment and resource materials.
Located on the left front of the
body is a 34 foot pneumatic telescoping mast. Fixed
on top of the mast is a Pelco pan and tilt platform
that encloses a digital color camera with 6X10 telescoping
lens that can be remotely controlled from the command
center. The camera is connected to a 14" color
monitor within the command center. Individual images
can be captured on digital recorders and printed from
an on-board color printer for documentation purposes.
Weather conditions are monitors from a telescoping
weather van and detector on the right rear of the
body.
On-site breathing air is supplied
through a Cascade system with 6000 psi booster pump.
The two-bottle fill enclosure provides safe filling
operations from the right rear compartment with nine
spare SCBA bottle storage tubes located conveniently
just adjacent to the fill enclosure.
Plenty of on-scene operational power
is provided by a 25,000 watt PTO generator that supplies
power to a 9000 watt multi-directional light tower,
two MagnaFire tri-pod flood lights, two Hannay cord
reels with power distribution boxes, interior command
center lighting, heat and air conditioning, refrigerator
and multiple power outlets. These same circuits can
be operated through a 50-amp shorepower input through
a transfer switch.
Located on the roof and accessible
by body mounted ladder is an observation platform
with fold-up perimeter rails. Both the platform and
the ladder meet OSHA safety standards. Within the
body are storage accommodations for ladders, rescue
tri-pods and three pike poles. Multiple arrangements
of shelves and trays provided dedicated storage of
equipment in the high capacity body compartments.
