Report
Summary
The contract is necessary to continue to purchase patient extrication equipment, parts, and services on an as-needed basis. The Fire Department uses Holmatro rescue equipment to extricate victims of motor vehicle accidents and building collapses. The equipment has the capability to lift, spread, cut and breach vehicles and building walls. The additional funds are due to an increase in annual maintenance services which are needed to ensure the tools and equipment are in proper working condition upon arrival of the scene of the accident or emergency. The additional funds will allow the Fire Department to continue purchasing large extrication tools and equipment and continued ongoing replacement of out dated equipment. The Fire Department currently owns and utilizes the equipment on every ladder truck and ladder tender in the City. This equipment is a critical part of the Fire Department's efforts to provide life safety services to the public.
