Why Command Posts Are Essential For Your Fire Apparatus

Firefighters are trained for every possible scenario, and much of their time on the job is spent in extreme and dangerous conditions. If your firefighters are equipped for even the most challenging scenarios, your fire apparatus accessories should be too. From response coordination to strategic execution, mobile command posts are an essential piece of firefighter apparatus equipment that every department should have.

What are mobile fire command posts?

Mobile command posts serve as a central hub for your firefighters and other safety personnel. They’re a central point of communication and strategy, so your department can make thoughtful and well-informed decisions as quickly and efficiently as possible. Mobile command posts can be built into any fire apparatus or police vehicle, with customizable design options including storage drawers, computer trays, whiteboards, equipment mounts and more. By putting everything at your firefighters’ fingertips, you can enable them to better perform their job during even the most stressful situations. 

When do you need mobile fire command posts?

Mobile fire command posts are most often deployed during large-scale events like football games, festivals, search and rescue operations or natural disasters. However, fire command posts can be deployed any time at the fire chief’s discretion. Mobile command posts are useful whenever a fire station is inaccessible; this could be due to a natural disaster and property damage or because an incident is taking place far away from the station. The command post’s ability to provide access to hard-to-reach areas is one of its greatest assets. Whether you want to establish a presence at a high-traffic event such as a festival or coordinate a search and rescue operation in the wake of a natural disaster, mobile fire command posts are an essential piece of fire apparatus equipment.
