         22 . The system of  21  wherein said vehicle comprises a first responder vehicle. 
     
     
         23 . The system of  claim 22  wherein said fluid supply is associated with said first responder vehicle. 
     
     
         24 . The system of  claim 21  wherein said fluid dispenser further comprises a deluge shower dispenser. 
     
     
         25 . The system of  claim 21  wherein said fluid supply comprises a fire hydrant. 
     
     
         26 . The system of  claim 21  further comprising a mounting bracket connected to said vehicle said mounting bracket further comprising:
 a base plate: and 
 a means for fastening said base plate to said vehicle. 
 
     
     
         27 . The system of  claim 21  further comprising a pump configured to control pressure of said fluid supply said pump further comprising:
 a cool pump configured to cool said fluid supply; and 
 a heater configured to heat said fluid supply. 
 
     
     
         28 . A first responder decontamination apparatus comprising:
 a fluid supply;   a pipe connected to a fluid dispenser wherein said pipe extends from a vehicle; and   a valve for providing said fluid to said fluid dispenser from said fluid supply.   
     
     
         29 . The apparatus of  claim 28  wherein said vehicle comprises a first responder vehicle. 
     
     
         30 . The apparatus of  claim 29  wherein said fluid supply is associated with said first responder vehicle. 
     
     
         31 . The apparatus of  claim 28  wherein said fluid dispenser further comprises a deluge shower dispenser. 
     
     
         32 . The apparatus of  claim 28  wherein said fluid supply comprises a fire hydrant.
