Lake County commissioners were given a tour of an emergency mobile command vehicle by Lake County Emergency Management Coordinator B.J. Kohlstedt Tuesday. The county took ownership of the vehicle recently because another county didn’t have a place to store it. It will serve 11 surrounding counties for help during emergencies such as large fires.
