Dubuque Fire’s newest vehicle will be on display and open for tours from 5:30 – 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 20, on West Sixth Street in front of the Historic Federal Building. The public is invited to attend and come learn more!

The vehicle is a new Hazmat/Mobile Command 571, replacing a 1998 vehicle. The primary use of the vehicle is to respond to, control, and mitigate hazardous material (hazmat) incidents. The unit carries a wide variety of equipment used by Dubuque Fire to handle these events for the City of Dubuque and Dubuque County.

Additionally, the mobile command function of this unit includes a slide-out section which allows the vehicle to be utilized as a meeting room for large-scale, multi-jurisdictional events. The vehicle is also equipped with a leveling system for incidents when it is parked on a grade.

Stop by to tour the truck and learn more!
