Stamford Mobile Command Unit Delivered

[x152 179]

The City of Stamford (CT) has taken delivery of a new mobile command center/field comm unit.

The 37 foot command body was built by Laboit of Columbus, Ohio and is mounted on a GMC chassis. The body has a telescoping mast, generators, bathroom, kitchenette, conference room, and radio and computer work stations.

Purchased by the Stamford Public Safety Office, the unit will be housed and staffed by Stamford Fire and Rescue. Specific details regarding staffing levels and response protocol are still being evaluated. Purchased by Public Safety using Homeland Security funds, the truck will be made available to for any emergency/large event occurring within the City.

Unknown stats on the PD Special Ops unit... it is the same GMC cab and very similar body, lights, etc... also has a rear-mounted telescoping mast with a camera on top, I was told this was for "Keeping an eye-in-the-sky" on large crowds at events such as parades.

(Note: The PD rig was also purchased through a grant from Homeland Security, in case you "135" tax-payers were wondering.)

Awesome! I didn't realize there were two of them. Interesting choice of chasis as well.
