<P> The FDNY hazardous materials (hazmat) company, Haz - Mat 1 (quartered in Queens), responds to all major citywide hazardous materials incidents, building collapses, contamination - related incidents, terrorism - related disasters, major emergencies, and a variety of other incidents in which their services may be needed . Like the rescue and squad companies of the FDNY, members of Haz - Mat Company 1 are experienced and specially trained to deal with hazardous situations . The Haz - Mat company operates a Haz - Mat Truck, similar to a rescue truck, which carries a variety of equipment to deal with hazardous situations . Haz - Mat 1 also operates a smaller rescue truck which carries extra equipment not carried on the company's main piece of apparatus . The Haz - Mat company is supplemented by the squad companies primarily, the rescue companies, and a handful of engine companies whose members are certified Haz - Mat Technicians . These engine companies, like the squad companies, also operate smaller step vans that carry hazmat equipment . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs to be updated .

Please update this section to reflect recent events or newly available information . (May 2018) </Td> </Tr> <P> In recent years, FDNY has used several fire apparatus manufacturers nearly exclusively . Beginning in the late 1970s, Mack and American LaFrance made most of the pumpers and ladder trucks in the FDNY fleet . In the late 1980s, Mack made only chassis and not apparatus bodies, so Ward was used for truck bodies . Often Mack would work with Baker Aerialscope to create its tower ladders . Mack left the fire apparatus business in the early 1990s and FDNY turned to Seagrave to develop its next generation of fire trucks . FDNY's very specific specifications meant that few apparatus manufacturers could compete with Seagrave for the contract . </P>
