GOSHEN – Orange County has taken the first step to purchase a new emergency management mobile command vehicle.
The Public Safety and Emergency Services Committee of the county legislature approved the $2.4 million purchase on Wednesday.
County EMS Commissioner Peeter Cirigliano II said the current vehicle has passed its usefulness.
“It’s end of life on technology, hardware, software, integration – as you know the technology is graphicly evolving in emergency services and compatibility with out existing 911 system. We need to make sure that they talk hand-in-hand,” he told lawmakers.
Cirigliano said other area counties are in the process of upgrading their mobile command centers as well to keep up with technology.
