"In the event of any type of emergency, we can bring this vehicle to the site and basically set it up as a mobile building and once it's on station, we can configure it for a variety of different uses," said NSP Colonel John Bolduc. "This vehicle could be used for rescue and recovery, for first responders who are on station for long periods of time, it can be used as a mobile office, it could be used as a gather point for information and could be used as a media station."
