The '''NHS's''' '''Road Incident Responder Branch''' (more commonly known as '''RIR''') provides general safety and onsite practices for all emergency responders. Additionally, they provide maximum protection for all emergency responders operating at limited access highway incidents. They access highways with high vehicle speeds, in adverse weather conditions, helping heavy trucks, and reducing exposure to motorists with varying degrees of ability, with possible vision, alcohol, and drug impairments. All RIR members understand that the objective is to get onto the highway, perform their duties, help all the people on the island and get off the highway as quickly and efficiently as possible. This will reduce their high-risk exposure and help to get traffic patterns back to normal. RIR always operate within a protected environment at any type of incident on or near a highway.

The offroad covered is a variant of the commonly used offroad, this vehicle accessible to tier 2 members and above is useful when attending incidents on rough terrain much like the MB 4WD, however this vehicle allows for a much more efficient way of carrying passengers giving them the much needed cover from the environment as you race back to the hospital for emergency surgery.
