command post

With thousands of lives at risk, a mobile command post tasked with issuing evacuation orders struggled to keep pace with the Eaton fire’s rapid progress.

A command post to coordinate the search has been set up at the Anderlecht town hall, west of the Belgian capital's city centre.

A nearby truck housed the operations team, which served as an intermediary for radio communications between the command post and fire battalions battling the flames.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has worked out of a command post near a popular hiking trail, where officials believe the Palisades fire began around 10:30 a.m.

Before 10 p.m., the scope of the disaster had outgrown the emergency command post at Farnsworth Park, and Williams and other officials shifted their operations west across the 210 Freeway to the Rose Bowl.
