Summary:
The Fire Department needs a NFPA 1906 compliant Type 6 Squad Mini-Pumper Light Engine fire apparatus. The apparatus transports firefighters to the scene and provides them access to the fire, along with water and other specialized equipment.
Mini-Pumper engines are much smaller than standard fire engines, they are multi-function vehicles, and may also be utilized as Squads. A Squad Mini-Pumper fire engine is a vehicle specifically designed to assist in fighting grass, brush, field, and vegetation fires.
They will respond to emergencies in locations where traditional engines cannot navigate like the trail system and fields. The proposed Mini-Pumper engine features four-wheel drive capability and can climb steep terrain and make it through rough topography.
Additional accessory equipment will be purchased from various vendors at an estimated additional cost of $30,000.
