Which unit carries extension hoses and other equipment to supplement the operation of the Con Ed vacuum truck?

The SOC Compressor Unit carries extension hoses and other equipment to supplement the operation of the Con Ed vacuum truck. This unit is specifically designed to support operations involving the management of hazardous materials and infrastructure maintenance, particularly in scenarios where additional equipment is necessary for effective containment and cleanup. The extension hoses help facilitate the suction capabilities of the vacuum truck, allowing for more efficient removal of materials or contaminants.

In emergency response situations, the cooperation between different units is crucial. While other units, such as the Hazardous Materials Response Unit, may deal with hazardous materials directly, the SOC Compressor Unit's role is focused on providing logistical support and equipment, including hoses that extend the operational reach of the vacuum truck. This functionality is essential in ensuring that the response to incidents involving utilities is swift and effective, particularly in urban environments with complex infrastructure.
