DCS Communications Van (80H)
We are in the process of outfitting our new DCS communications van that we took delivery of in December, 2006. Our old DCS communication truck, affectionately known as 290H, was retired by the county. Anything not bolted down along with some things that were bolted down were salvaged from the old truck for future use in the new vehicle. The following pictures will show the progress in outfitting our new 2001 Ford E-350 cargo van.
