Responsible Department: Fire Commentary: This Order would authorize the Fire Department to apply for $23,209.90 in grant funds from the King Foundation to purchase a washer/extractor and dryer to clean turnout gear. It is important from a safety and use perspective that this gear be cleaned thoroughly and immediately after it has been exposed to hazardous materials and situations. The current washer and dryer have limited capacity, while the new units will be able to handle multiple sets of gear at the same time. Through the efficient cleaning of the turnout gear, the service life of gear should be extended as well. This was reviewed and recommended for approval at the December 15, 2014 Government Operations Committee meeting.
