Incident Control Point

At last our new PRFO wagon has been fitted with the cargo tray I talked about in my earlier post. The tray is designed to carry incident management equipment in a way that still makes everything easily accessible. The company we used Vehicle Smart Draws took our basic idea and turned it into reality. The tray has a pull out bench with fold out sides to create a larger work table.

Underneath this table are a couple of drawers for the smaller equipment we'll need such as ID vests, office supplies, lighting etc. Behind this space there is also additional storage space under a cubby. A large inverter provides us with power to the work table anough to run our laptops, printer and that flash new coffee machine Ross has his eye on (yeah right). A feed for the radios from the cab is also provided to the work table and the remote heads can be positioned at the rear of the vehicle.

This unit coupled with our mobile office equipment and a canopy to keep the sun off will provide an excellent platform to perform ICP activities and briefings. All the fire fighting equipment is deployed on other vehicles or trailers.
