at bottom is list of teams

looking at MA TF1 - there are many pictures there - but none show
their equipment - so at most - anyone reading the website to see what
their capabilities are - will find out that they have 100 members and
they get deployed maybe 5 times per year

you can go to firenews.org to get pictures of many of their units -
iirc they have 4 tractor trailer trucks and a bus and a payloader -
and 4 boats - and thats about it

we would expect the 27 other usar teams in the usa would have similar
capabilities

boston does not have a usar team - but they have technical rescue
capability at Station 10 and maybe Station 28 - with 2 large rescue
trucks and a collapse gear truck and a technical rescue gear truck but
no cranes or bulldozers - the same staff also is specialized in water
rescues and hazmat incidents - so basically boston has 2 regular fire
stations that have some extra equipment trucks and the trained staff
to use them
