DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Marion County Fire Rescue (MCFR) and Marion County Fleet have agreed that this 1998 E-One Ladder, asset number 32169, has reached the end of life cycle and is on this September 4, 2024, Marion County Board of County Commissioners (MCBCC) agenda for approval of disposition. This ladder truck is a 1998 E-One Aerial that is 110-feet. This truck had previously been shifted from being a front-line unit to being a spare unit. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1901 recommends that fire apparatus be removed from front-line service after 15 years and from all emergency service after 25 years.
With the support of the MCBCC, MCFR has been able to follow our vehicle replacement plan and is requesting to donate this truck to Williston Fire Rescue (WFR) per the attached donation request. WFR has a much lower call volume than MCFR, and this unit will assist WFR by providing a ladder truck that they need but do not have funds to purchase.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None.
