2010 — 2019 Capital Investment Plan Thus, the fire department's capital improvement plan is a two-part document, detailing the capital needs if the department continues to operate three fire stations under the current configuration and a second plan that depicts the capital needs if the department transitions to a one or two-station configuration. While this document addresses the fire department's capital needs, consideration should also be given to the significant operational savings (e.g., energy costs, fuel, repairs and maintenance) that can be achieved under a two-station configuration. This will be especially prevalent if the capital plans include new building(s). 2009 Ca�ital Reductions The fire department placed fire station #2 in a reserve status as of January 2009, and has sold Ladder 28 resulting in a future reduction in capital vehicle replacement of more than a million dollars.
