CITE! OF SAN BERN "' RDINO - REQUEST FIR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Fire Station No. 5 has been offered the opportunity to evaluate a
new type of off-road firefighting vehicle until January 20, 1994 .
Station No. 5 was chosen for this evaluation because of the terrain
in the area it serves.
The Department ' s current inventory of water tenders is 25 to 30
years old. Replacement of this equipment is imminent. The current
market includes vehicles with new technology and proven military
designs that could have major improvements for fire department
applications. This vehicle appears to be very promising as a
quick-attack firefighting vehicle with increased versatility for
rescue/medical aid response, superior hill climbing performance and
ability to negotiate the tight trails and roads in the foothill
interface area.
There are no direct costs or fees associated with the evaluation of
this vehicle. The Fire Department will provide fuel and
maintenance and the City will insure the vehicle, valued at
approximately $80, 000.
The Fire Department will lose the opportunity to evaluate this
vehicle if action is not taken at the Council meeting of December
2011 1993 . The vehicle has been committed to be in Washington in
January, 1994 .
