I was near the airport this afternoon and decided to drive through. When I was near the MedStar base a large SAAS truck was being reversed into the area.
Similar size to MFS Forward Command vehicle, but not an Scania.
I did not have time to take a good photo, but it was white custom built with the yellow and green striping down the side. On the side was a large awning folded away and side entrance doors can be seen. The yellow/green ambulance striping was on the back.
The windscreen had 303 stickers at top and the title 'Tactical Support' was on the side.
Looked like a very modern, large forward command vehicle.
Can anyone provide ifnormation on this vehicle ?
See www.ozfire.com has photos & some info about it :-D

Some pics in the SAAS section
It is a support vehicle, attached to SOT. One is a Merc Sprinter base vehicle with box thing on it for additional rescue gear etc and the truck has more gear, supplies, hazmat stuff (CBR), the works.
Not seen it, but they are there for large scale incidents and multi casualty incidents. Think the truck also has room for a command area.
SAAS does have a comms/command bus too for forward command etc.
