<br />~ment <br /> <br />In the first part of 1996, we took delivery of a new pumper which had been ordered in <br />the last part of 1994. This new pumper replaces a pumper that was twenty one years <br />old. The new truck provides room for a full crew of five firefighters and has many <br />innovations that make the firefighters job more efficient. <br /> <br />Also during 1996, we negotiated a trade of a 1990 rescue vehicle for a new lighter <br />weight rescue unit to be delivered in 1997. The 1990 vehicle had proved to be too big <br />and bulky for our medical responses. The new vehicle will be the same as the other <br />rescue vehicles that were purchased in 1993. <br /> <br />The following is a breakdown of the vehicles that we currently have in the Centennial <br />Fire District. <br /> <br />STATION ONE <br />(Circle Pines) <br /> <br />Pumper <br />Rescue <br />Command I Utility <br />Grass I Uti I ity <br />Utility and Tracked Vehicle <br /> <br />STATION TWO <br />(Lino Lakes) <br /> <br />Pumper <br />Rescue <br />Tanker <br />Grass I Utility <br />Utility Van <br /> <br />STATION THREE I <br />(Centervi lie) <br /> <br />Pumper <br />Rescue <br />Tanker <br />Grass I Utility <br />Boat <br /> <br />~ During the year, we were given two personal water craft to be used as water rescue <br />units. This was a no charge program with the requirement that we turn them in at the <br />end of the year and get two new ones. After experimenting with these units, we <br />determined that they do not provide what we need for water rescue so we will be <br />getting out of this program. <br /> <br />~ <br />
