1 Measure South Lane County Fire & Rescue General Obligation Bond November 3, 2015

2 Measure Impacts Measure is for 5.5 years, funding needed fire apparatus Measure is projected to generate 2.6 million dollars Measure costs the average home owner $0.30/$1000 of assessed property value or $30 per $100,000 of assessed property value.

3 National Fire Protection Administration (NFPA) NFPA sets the standards for fire apparatus NFPA standards are the basis for ISO requirements ISO is the organization that issues the community fire protection rating The community fire protection rating affects insurance rates for home/property

4 NFPA Annex D Standard for Automotive Apparatus First due fire apparatus should be no more than 15 years old. Fire apparatus should be removed from service at 25 years. The average age of SLCFR s fleet is 24 years. SLCFR has not financially been in a position to purchase fire engines. Upgrading the fleet will increase ISO point values for scoring purposes. Upgrading the fleet provides for OSHA 2In-2Out compliance for interior fire attack not currently met. Upgrading the fleet will improve firefighter and citizen safety!

5 Insurance Services Office (ISO) Establishes community fire protection rating. Old or outdated equipment costs points. New equipment helps increase overall points. Point gains help improve overall score. Leads to better protection rating. Better protection may reduce premiums.

6 Proposed Purchases NFPA compliant 85 to 100 foot aerial/quint NFPA compliant structural fire apparatus NFPA compliant water tenders/heavy brush engines

7 Aerial Replacement 1992 United Fire Tele-Squirt 50 Boom/Ladder Does not meet current safety protection standards. Does not reach the top of all District structures. Does not carry required standard ground ladder compliment. Estimated replacement cost $800,000 to $900,000. This apparatus does not meet current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards for aerial devices. Replacing it, drastically improves safety for firefighters, citizens, and operational capabilities.

8 The Differences & Benefits Current 1992 Aerial/Quint- 50 Foot Outdated construction 1990s Standard Outdated rollover protection Outdated firefighter restraints No anti-collision system Outdated braking systems Outdated emitions and fuel efficiency High annual maintenance and repair costs Usable building height reach 30 feet Not capable of rooftop rescues for entire District 50 foot elevated master stream Does not reach the top of all structures within the District Brings 4 firefighters to the scene Does not meet OSHA 2In-2Out requirements for independent on scene interior fire attack 24 foot ground ladder Lacks standard saws and fans New 2016 Aerial/Quint -85 to 100 Foot Updated safer construction 2016 Standards Latest rollover protection Latest firefighter restraints Latest anti-collision system Latest braking systems Latest emitions and fuel efficiency controls Warranty and lower operating costs Usable building height reach 65 to 80 Feet Effective rooftop rescue capability for District 85 to 100 foot elevated master stream Reaches the top of current structures and potential future structures Brings up to 8 firefighters max Provides more boots on the ground for safer operations Meets OSHA 2In-2Out requirements for independent on scene interior fire attack 107 feet ground ladders (12 x 2, 24 x 2, 35 ) Has standard rescue saws and fans A quint adds the capabilities of a fire engine to a ladder truck.

9 Aerial/Quint Replaces Two with One Measure provides for replacing this apparatus with the new aerial/quint. A quint combines all the capabilities of a ladder truck and a fire engine. Maintenance and operating costs are reduced, maximizing efficiency.

10 Structure Engine Replacement 1985 Marion Pumper. Deemed Not Safe in independent report. Exceeded service life by 5 years. Does not meet structural apparatus standards. Replacement will improve safety and operational capabilities. Estimated replacement cost $400,000. This apparatus was deemed Not Safe for on highway operations in an independent report. This apparatus does not meet current National Fire Protection Administration Standards (NFPA) for firefighter safety.

11 The Differences and Benefits Current 1985 Fire Engine Outdated construction 1980s Standard Outdated rollover protection Prone to rollover Outdated firefighter restraints Two point restraint No anti-collision system Outdated braking systems Not anti-lock Outdated emitions and fuel efficiency High annual maintenance and repair costs Brings 2 firefighters max Does not meet OSHA 2In-2Out requirements for independent on scene interior fire attack Lacks standard rescue saws and fans New 2016 Fire Engine #1 Updated safer construction 2016 Standards Latest rollover protection Latest firefighter restraints Latest anti-collision system Latest braking systems Latest emitions and fuel efficiency controls Warranty and lower operating costs Brings up to 6 firefighters at one time Provides more boots on the ground for safer operations Meets OSHA 2In-2Out requirements for independent on scene interior fire attack Has standard rescue saws and fans All wheel drive for steeper approach and safer winter operations.

12 Structure Engine Replacements 1992 Pierce Dash Exceeds first due standard by 9 years Reaches end of service life in 2 years Does not meet current NFPA standards for firefighter restraint, anti-collision or rollover protection. Estimated replacement cost $400,000
