The Fire Department operates five rescue trucks (ambulances) that respond to over 6,000 requests for service each year. The current trucks were built by four different manufacturers on two different chassis. As the trucks have aged, obtaining parts and technical support has become increasing challenging. The City of Bangor recently took advantage of a "Southern Maine Bid" to replace one vehicle. This order would authorize the purchase of another unit under this program. This unit would replace a 2006 unit with 110,000 miles. CDBG funds are available to fund up to $65,000 of this cost and the additional funding will be appropriated from the Fire Equipment Reserve account. This appropriation was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee on April 22, 2015. Manager's Comments: Associated Information: Budget Approval: The current balance of the Fire Equipment Reserve is $308,000.
