START is a subsidiary of the Seacoast Chief Fire Officers Association Inc. The team operates out of two equipment trailers located in Exeter and Portsmouth. These trailers carry a majority of the team's equipment. A portable Decon shelter is located at the Dover Fire Department. The States mobile Decon unit was returned to the State office of Emergency Management. The Team's equipment assets exceed $250,000. The Team is also supported by the communications trailer from the City of Portsmouth, air units located in Lee, Rochester and Rye. In 2007 Homeland Grants purchased 2 light towers, a Haz-Cat WMD System and a Thermal Imager to improve the teams capabilities.
