DEPARTMENT:
James Banta, Fire Chief
Fire Rescue
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Marion County Fire Rescue (MCFR) and Marion County Fleet had previously agreed that the 1993 E-One Sentry Pumper, asset number 262440, had reached the end of life cycle and was approved for disposal on August 6, 2024, at the Marion County Board of County Commissioners meeting. Due to the high call volume that Marion County career stations run, MCFR had transferred this pumper from a career station to a volunteer station several years ago. Levy County Department of Public Safety (LCPS) has a much lower call volume than MCFR and has very limited funds to purchase these units. Once approved for donation, this unit will assist LCPS by replacing a unit they had to put out of service due to repairs exceeding the value of the truck.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
