SART has strategically deployed Mobile Animal Response Equipment (MARE) trailers, Mini-MARE trailers, livestock panels, and Animal Technical Rescue Trailers (ATR) across the State for emergency response. If a local government agency needs to request this equipment for emergency response, then they must send a request to SART by contacting LeiAnna Tucker at (850) 410-0920.
MARE Unit: A MARE Unit (Mobile Animal Response Equipment) is a 16’ open-sided steel livestock trailer stocked with small animal response necessities such as plastic animal crates, leashes, water and food bowls, and cleaning equipment.
Mini-MARE Unit: A Mini-MARE Unit is a smaller, more mobile enclosed trailer, with animal crates of various sizes and some of the miscellaneous items in the full MARE Unit.
Livestock Panels: Livestock panels can be used for the quick setup of a temporary pen for livestock.
ATR Unit: An ATR (Animal Technical Rescue) Unit is an enclosed trailer containing equipment for both livestock and smaller animal technical rescues. Included are a portable A-frame/crane unit, rope systems, webbing, harnesses for large and small animals, and rescue glide for moving animals, a mud extrication system, and safety equipment for the responders.
