Welcome to the Talon City Fire Station!

Rescue and Hazard Teams

One of the more dangerous duties that this Station carries out is that of retrieving people who have gotten themselves into trouble, and taking care of hazards such as electrical lines downed, fallen walls or mud/rock slides, and even the occasional bomb threat. Though the bomb squad is handled by Police organization, the actual containment of dangerous materials such as toxic items or bombs comes down to this expert team.

The team here at 108 is largely young, but experienced. Talon City seems to have more than its share of trouble. Since it is a more urban area, the incidents of mudslides or falling rocks have decreased, while the moments when some idiot has decided to try blowing themselves up or urban terror have clearly increased.

This team is composed of four members, each of whom can do their own work to lead the group. Their equipment includes the Chemical truck which is used for spills and waste cleanup, the HazMat rig - capable of keeping the unit safe while inside a dangerous environment, and they share another Utility truck with the Exotic Response Team. None of the officers involved with this team is so attached to their vehicles that they name them - since they are often called out for use by other units, they don't think it's appropriate. Perhaps some day.
