Heavy squads, also known as mass casualty units are special Trucks That act as a mobile hospital during large disasters involving lots of injured people. There are six of these in service in the region where I live, TVF&R Squad 52, ( formerly Known as Squad 66) PF&R Squads 18 and 24, Clackamas Fire District #1 Squad 5, Gresham Fire Department Squad 72, and Portland Airport Fire Department Squad 881. ( See airport fire departments)

These rigs carry medical equipment as basic as bandages and as complex as life support systems. They can even set up a table and tent for surgery.
