Excerpts from the Heraldnews.com:
The Village of Romeoville announced the purchase of a LDV/Freightliner Mobile Command Center scheduled for delivery in March.
After constructing a new fire station to replace an old one, this purchase was next in line [with the help of ] a $50,000 donation from the Citgo Lemont Refinery that goes toward the purchase of a phone system, weather station system and camera system with a 39-foot mast for the mobile command center.
According to Romeoville Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Littrell, emergency personnel will have access to state-of-the-art technology. They will also be able to stay on location at an emergency scene for extended periods of time. In the past, command posts were set up in tents outside an incident area.
The vehicle will have a conference area with the capacity to seat 13 personnel and a communication center with room for three radio operators.
