Surprised they didn't utilize the county's command unit for such a large-scale incident, unless it was there and just not listed here?

[201/65 94]

The counties command vehicle is a joke. Last I heard the large command vehicle was stripped/decommissioned and the radios are in a much smaller sprinter type truck for communications only. They had denied sending it out a few times prior to above and utilized the sheriff's trailer as well before the recent truck swap.

I know the county fire investigator van was there as well. I know they have used that for command in the past too. But I don't know if that was what it was being used for here.

The only time I saw 36-100 was on the 4/2, and it was set up off of state school road with Warwick PD and was being used by the FIs and PD to manage the investigation.
