Bored with Mr HART Man
It's nearly 0300 and I'm sitting here with one of the H.A.R.T team and we are BORED!!! Nothing interesting has happened all night, we've eaten lots of crap coz it's Easter and now time is going backwards. And as I have nothing of interest to write about, thought I'd tell you about HART.
These are our SuperStaff (They have capes and a flying car, lots of gadgets in a utility belt and a butler called Alfred). They are our Hazardous Area Response Team - basically in laymans terms they are boys (and girl - only one who's actually off sick - wuss!) with toys! They go into HOT zones and along with the cockroaches may be the only ones who can survive a nuclear blast - and if they don't survive then they lose their funding and the idea isn't rolled out across the country.
They get to go to our big exciting calls - big RTC's, gas leaks, people in the river, CBRN stuff (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) - all the stuff that means they get to use their extra skills and wear their gas masks and look very important.
They started at the end of last year as a trial and has been funded by the Department of Health (they even lent us a very cool command and control vehicle costing apporximately the same as a small country). If it's successful it's going to be rolled out across the country - and it seems to be going pretty well.
There are 4 teams of 6 people:
2 x work on FRU's
1 or 2 x in EOC watching the calls
2 x in the Control Vehicle
When they find something exciting to run on the person in EOC sends the call down to one or both FRu's to suss it out and then if it's a good juicy call everyone slides down the fireman pole, grab their capes from Alfred and fly toward impending doom. Then they relaise it's not that exciting and traipse back to EOC, hang up their utility belts and have a cup of tea telling everyone that the gas leak or whatever was THIS BIG with some wild arm movements.
They also have funky uniforms - a kind of cross between firemen and paramedics (I'm trying to persuade them to do a calendar with all the men in just their trousers and braces but they don't seem to be going for it!)
So that's HART - a new and what seems to be a pretty successful addition to the LAS - I'll reserve full judgement until after a full scale nuclear attack!
