This is the largest of our response vehicles. We can run an entire operation from this vehicle. The design of this truck is to be used on large apartment fires. We have clothes, blankets, snacks, and Gatorade. Coffee can be made with a commercial coffee maker.
Communication equipment is on board the vehicle.
This vehicle is owned by the national organization. The Dallas chapter s job is to keep it maintained and ready for use in a national response. Once it is requested, DSHR volunteers are called upon to pick it up and drive it to the affected area anywhere in the country. Once on scene, its primary job is to distribute food and drink to those affected by a disaster, to the relief workers, and to the other American Red Cross volunteers. It can be used for local responses but must be available for immediate use.
