MOBILE COMMUNITY SAFETY CENTRE
Recently,
Cebotec delivered the first of two Mobile Interactive Multi Media Information
Units to Strathclyde Fire and Rescue, Community Fire Safety. Working closely
with Robert Brown, Strathclyde Fire and Rescue’s Fleet Manager, each vehicle has
an 8m body with twin, hydraulically operated, expanding pods that provide an
extended floor space of around 25sqm when deployed. An
onboard whisper generator provides the power necessary to support the
educational and public awareness function via a bank of eight wall mounted
computer stations and a 40in LCD monitor. Air conditioning with separate heating
element, a thermostatically controlled diesel powered heating system and Cat2
electric lighting ensures the vehicles, which are wheelchair accessible, remain
suitable for business at any time of the year.
The Mobile Community Safety Centres have been fitted out with extendable sides
so that they can seat eight people at PC consoles or host audiences of 30 for
lectures on issues such as fire and road safety.
The vehicles, each costing over £150,000, carry large, dramatic fire safety
warnings along their sides. Very soon, the vehicles will become a familiar sight
at schools and public events.
