HomeMy WebLinkAbout04. Unscheduled Purchase of Emergency Extrication Equipmentro: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCILCITY MANAGE7,-,1 i `F The Fire Department responds on over 1,000 automobile accidents annually, performing emergency medical care, hazard mitigation, and automobile extrication of trapped victims. Truck 611 and Heavy Rescue 661 are responsible for performing automobile extrication and therefore are equipped with a cache of gas - powered hydraulic extrication tools, commonly known to the public as the "Jaws of Life ". Truck 611 extrication tools were purchased in 2002 and US &R 661's equipment were purchased in 2004. DISCUSSION Both apparatus' extrication equipment is beyond their expected life expectancy (10 years). The manufacturer no longer supports some departmental extrication tools, and preventative maintenance and necessary repairs have become increasingly costly. Additionally, the department's rescue equipment is not capable of adequately performing on vehicles composed of today's high tensile steels. Most recently Truck 611's extrication equipment experienced mechanical malfunctions causing concern of their reliability. Today's new edraulic extrication equipment is significantly quieter, do not emit carbon monoxide, operate independently and remotely, and allow multiple rescue tools to be operated simultaneously. FISCAL IMPACT Total fiscal impact shall not exceed $61,732.15 of the City's Equipment fund. ATTACHMENTS Attachment A. L.N.
