This is mine used as a command center for my local fire service
I have seen it driving about a few times
Its description:

The Control Unit is mobilised to large incidents of a protracted nature. It controls all communications on the incident ground and provides a single point of contact for our Control Room. There is an area within the unit for the Incident Commander to brief fire and rescue officers and also to liaise with officers and representatives from other services.
