Picture
           On December 5th, 2014, the Carthage Fire & Rescue took delivery of a 2015 Chevy Tahoe Special Service package to replace an aging 2004 Ford Explorer for the Fire Chief. Many upgrades are being placed into this vehicle as it will also be a mobile command vehicle on fire scenes. The vehicle will be equipped with two (2) radios, command box, extra scene lighting, more warning lights, traffic advisor and dash camera to record fire calls to be used as training aides. Below are some photos of the vehicle progress of installing emergency lighting and equipment done by HELS Hill's Emergency Light Sales.
More photos to come.
