The vans are equipped like Batallion Chief's Cars in the US or ELW1 in Germany, and transport mid-ranking field officers to incidents, along with their drivers and aides. Two or three typically respond to a sructure fire in Tokyo, along with around eight pumpers, three or four aerials and several ambulances.
