ORANGE COUNTY 1~DRTH CAROLAVA <br />Municipal fire hydrants are provided along Route 70, toward Hillsborough and <br />Durham. The department has a rural water supply program. Typical response time <br />is between six and seven minutes. <br />The department has a comprehensive personnel protective equipment (PPE) <br />program. All members are provided with a full set of structural firefighting clothing <br />which is replaced on a five to six-year cycle. As a part of the incident command <br />system, the department has developed a Passport personal accountability system for <br />emergency scene operations. The system includes regular accountability checks and <br />a standardized protocol for the evacuation of a building in an emergency. <br />Personnel and resources are deployed from two fire stations. Station #1 is <br />located at 5019 US 70 East. The station is in generally good condition, but the <br />apparatus bays are cramped and there is limited storage space. Station #2, located <br />at St. Mary's Road and Pleasant Green Road, is a four-bay station. <br />Expenditures have increased over the last three years. The budget increased <br />by 21 percent from fiscal year 2007-.2008 to fiscal year 2010-2011. The largest <br />increase was approximately $20,000 for part-time firefighter salaries; this increase <br />is the result of increasing the hours of coverage by part-time personnel. <br />Exhibit 39 displays each apparatus, the year the unit was acquired, and the <br />apparatus designation. <br />EXHIBIT 39 <br />APPARATUS FLEET <br /> YEAR DESIGNATION ENGINE AERIAL TANKER BRUSH COMMAND <br /> UTILITY <br />Engine- tanker, E- One, 1,250 gpm, 1,000- <br />2000 <br />Engine 331 <br />1 <br />gallon tank <br />Engine- tanker, E- One, 1,250 gpm, 1,000- <br />2000 <br />Engine 332 <br />1 <br />gallon tank <br />Engine- tanker, E- One, 1,000 gpm, 1,250- <br />1995 <br />Engine 344 <br />1 <br />gallon <br />Tanker, Ford, 250 gpm, 1,500- gallon tank 1983 Tanker 343 1 <br />Brush Truck Ford, 250 gpm, 300- gallon tank 1991 Brush Truck 355 1 <br />Service Vehicle, Ford 1999 Vehicle 381 1 <br />{~} MMA CbNSULTING C~tOUP, INC.
