tear on larger vehicles, quicker response) while at the same time being able to respond to <br />any fires/accidents that may come in while they are out. This is a common scenario. <br />Our intention would be to utilize these vehicles in a flexible manner. For example, a <br />confirmed working structure fire we would likely take the full sized engine over the mini - <br />pumper in most cases. Our utilization of cross -trained police officers will ensure fire <br />staff gets confirmed information from the police officer on the fire scene, which will <br />ensure that proper piece of apparatus responds based on confirmed information. <br />These vehicles are suitable for the majority of grass fires. Using the proper hose <br />configuration, we could handle most grass fires and any fires that threaten structures (and <br />actually have a major advantage over the traditional grass rig in this regard). Being in the <br />Rice Creek watershed district a major hazard is swamps, which is off limits to all vehicles <br />and would require DNR intervention regardless of vehicle. <br />I am happy to attend any future meetings to discuss this further and provide my first-hand <br />experience with this type of emergency equipment or provide any other information that would <br />assist in this process. <br />ONE VISION.
