| BACKGROUND: |
In compliance with the department’s apparatus replacement plan, the following front line apparatus are being replaced and will be assigned to a reserve status in the fleet. The current apparatus replacement plan follows industry standards with 10 years of front line service and 5 years of reserve service. Other considerations for replacement of apparatus are mileage, engine hours, and annual repair and maintenance costs.
The “standard engine” purchase will replace the current “rescue engine” assigned to Escambia County Fire Rescue station 11 (Myrtle Grove). The current front line engine has in excess of 100,000 miles and is a 2004 model year apparatus.
The two “rescue engines” will replace the current front line engine assigned to station 6 (Ensley), which has in excess of 100,00 miles and is a 2011 model year apparatus.
The other front line engine is assigned to station 18 (Molino) and has 98,495 miles and is a 2003 model year apparatus.
The “squad engine” replaces a rescue engine currently assigned to station 14 (Pleasant Grove) and has in excess of 100,000 miles and is a 2002 model year apparatus. The replacement of the apparatus provides safe, efficient, dependable state of the art apparatus in which firefighters depend on to get them to the scene and provide water when necessary for the extinguishment of fires. The new apparatus being under warranty will also decrease repair and maintenance costs that has increased significantly due to an aging fleet., |
