Truck companies are the water rescue units in the city. Some engines have them to carry Decon Equipment (Haztech Engines) and some units are Dewatering units. Squads also have them to carry their extra equipment.

There are engines that are trained in water/ice rescue. I believe a number of them in the Rockaways are trained as well.

On the Squads and Haz-Tech Engines they are for storage of the Level A suits (So the unit is never without them even without the second piece). All other Haz-Mat equipment is on the second piece (stepvan), although I am pretty sure most carry their 5 Star and PID meters in the cab to be used on routine responses.
