    I mean yeah, when you can't even get volunteers to train on basic strategies and tactics once a week, of course you aren't gonna be able to muster up a very specialized and highly proficient team and keep them around for years.  Like anything, the interest is cool for a few months, and then the equipment collects dust.

    Definitely twin steer. 
     
    I would venture a real good guess that the "shower" system is referring to underbody sprinklers and all around sprinklers to be able to drive over hot materials?

    Here's the million dollar question....
     
    Who's going to staff it?  It is going to be a volunteer system, much like the Westchester Haz-mat team, which due to slow response times, has been skipped over many a time for a properly staffed rig?
     
    Tech team responses require an immense amount of training, and if you get the cert once and never handle the equipment for months, you're gonna lose that skill...

    This is brought up EVERY parade season.  The answers never change, and neither does the inadequate level of response.
