The Honey Brook Fire Company #1 is proud to announce it has placed into service a 2012 Ford Expedition Duty Officer Command Vehicle. The vehicle is designed to be a mobile office and command post for the Fire Company Chief Officers.

It will be used to respond to emergencies incidents and gives the Incident Commander (IC) a fixed location with multiple radios, an Incident Command System worksheet, and a mobile data computer interfaced with the county Computer Aided Dispatch software. Chief Officers will also use the vehicle to attend the multiple meetings each month they go to at the fire house, local municipal and county level meetings.
