MASS DECON UNIT ABOUT Mass Decontamination Units (MDUs) are a group of specialist modules designed to be deployed to incidents via Prime Mover (PM) and assist in the large-scale decontamination of firefighters and people in the event of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN), hazardous materials (HAZMAT) or industrial incidents where the rapid removal of harmful substances from large amounts of people is needed. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has nine mass decontamination stations, two of which are support stations and one a lite station. All decontamination units are provided under the national resilience framework by the Scottish Government. In the event of a mass decontamination incident, an MDU shall be deployed alongside four dedicated support pumps (not including the station's dual-crewed pump) and two support modules. Four, usually two-pump stations near an MDU module, are specially picked as decontamination support stations. Crews and pumps at said stations are provided with decontamination training and given decontamination equipment for the pumps. These support stations are the ones turned out alongside the MDU, allowing for increased decontamination coverage as well as sufficient manpower for the setting up of decontamination structures. CLASSIFICATIONS Mass Decontamination Unit (MDU) The primary module for decontamination incidents. The module carries a variety of decontamination equipment, namely a large tent-like shower structure which is capable of decontaminating around 200 people per hour. The setting up of this module requires around 20 trained personnel which is why the four designated support pumps must be mobilised. The MDU additionally carries a variety of HAZMAT equipment such as detergents and Powered Respiratory Protection Suits (PRPS). Mass Decontamination Lite (MDL) There is only one MDL module in the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, located at Springburn. The MDL module focuses on specifically firefighter decontamination and support equipment. Mass Decontamination Support (MDS) The intended purpose of the logistics module is to supplement the MDU's operations and allow for a successful operation overall. The module carries additional equipment such as Gas Tight Suits (GTS) and further disrobe and re-robe structures. The support module brings the decontamination capacity to around 250 persons per hour. All stations with a MDU will also have a support module alongside it, some stations will only have a support module. Mass Decontamination Basic This mode of decontamination is not found in a module format but is instead carried on the likes of Incident Support Vehicles (ISVs) . The equipment is overall fairly basic and only allows for small-scale decontamination or early interventions at HAZMAT incidents before more advanced teams arrive.

WATER CARRIER ABOUT Major Incident Units (MIUs) are specialist rescue appliances designed to transport Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) and heavy rescue equipment to the scene of an incident. These units utilize a curtain slider system for easy access to their contents, carrying palletized rescue equipment, with a forklift mounted on the rear to facilitate unloading. The primary role of an MIU is to support complex rescue operations, including plane crashes, serious road traffic collisions, and building collapses. Additionally, they carry supplementary equipment, such as extra breathing apparatus (BA) cylinders, basic decontamination resources, and ancillary tools to assist during large or multifaceted incidents, such as flooding. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) operates four MIUs, most of which were provided under the national resilience framework by the Scottish Government to select legacy services. MIUs are typically ‘jump-crewed’ by the station’s first-out pump crew, alongside a support pump. For USAR deployments, an MIU generally requires a team of 10 personnel, consisting of nine USAR technicians and one USAR team leader. Specification Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Includes heavy-duty equipment capable of penetrating materials like concrete, structural shoring tools for stabilizing unsafe environments, thermal imaging devices for locating trapped individuals, respirator sets for confined or hazardous atmospheres, and advanced casualty transport solutions for critical incidents. Heavy Rescue Includes high-capability hydraulic cutting and spreading equipment, high-pressure airbags for lifting and stabilizing heavy loads, vehicle stabilization devices, casualty protection tools, trauma kits, advanced hydraulic tools, and a winch system with wire rope for vehicle extrication and structural rescue operations. Body Built on a Scania crew cab chassis and features a curtain slider system for efficient access to equipment. A Moffett Mounty forklift is mounted at the rear, enabling the swift unloading of palletized rescue tools and resources at the scene. Ancillary Carries welfare resources such as bottled water, basic decontamination supplies, and additional breathing apparatus (BA) cylinders to sustain extended operations. It is also equipped with flood response tools and portable scene lighting to assist in adverse conditions.
