To provide a dedicated full service resource for the District's
fleet that balances the challenges of apparatus technology, the special needs of the
fire service, and the fiscal obligations to the taxpayers.
The Fleet Maintenance Department is responsible for servicing and maintaining 170
district vehicles. In addition, we provide contract maintenance for
another 100 fire department vehicles from 6 other local fire departments including:
Our full-service maintenance shop is a 12,000 square-foot facility which
includes four 25' by 70' service bays, a fabrication bay, parts storage,
SCBA repair area, and a pump testing area.
The key element of our operation is the standardization of apparatus and
equipment. In addition to the operational advantage, our belief is that
standardization minimizes the impact on both training and inventories and
adds the element of predictive maintenance into our preventive maintenance
program.
