The City of Lexington’s vendor did not want them to return this hose <br />because of the cost for shipping and the City of Lexington does not have a need for this type of <br />fire hose. <br /> <br />The City of Lexington would like to donate four sections of 50 foot wildland fire hose (total 200 <br />feet) to the Fire Division. The estimated value of this fire hose is $399.20. <br /> <br />If this donation is accepted, this equipment will be used in the Fire Division for wildland fire <br />suppression operations. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of acceptance of the donation of fire hose from the City of Lexington. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Photo of Wildland Fire Hose
