New Mobile Communications Vehicle |
New Castle County Emergency Communications Division recently took delivery of their new Mobile Communications vehicle custom built by LDV.
The vehicle was designed to respond to major events in New Castle County to serve as an Incident Command Vehicle. Incident Command serves all aspects of Emergency Services, Police, Fire, Ambulance, and Emergency Management, bringing the Commanders of each department together in one area as well as other Officials throughout the County and State.
Having all the Incident Commanders in one area can help mitigate an incident to a successful conclusion.
This vehicle will serve the citizens throughout the County as a back up mobile communications dispatch center, should we ever need to temporarily relocate the 9-1-1 center.
