Correct answer: DA Hazardous Area Response Team (HART)

A Hazardous Area Response Team is trained and equipped to provide clinical care within the inner cordon and hazardous environments such as confined spaces, working at height and contaminated areas. A standard ambulance crew or community responder (A and D) is not equipped or trained for confined-space entry. HART exists specifically to take clinical care safely into environments that ordinary crews cannot enter.
