Fort Frances Fire and Rescue Service showed off its new mobile command unit to the public yesterday.
Fire Chief Gerry Armstrong says it will serve as a base for operations during any type of emergency.
"We'll be able to set up at a scene and have a kind of office if you will," says Armstrong. "It will duplicate as a site coordination area. Obviously it's important for rehabilitation of people if you have them on scene for a long period of time."
The trailer unit replaces an older one that had been in use since 1975 and was purchase in part with funding from the federal government.
