Chief Jennison, Livonia Fire Chief, presented the request to Council.
Councilmember McCullough asked if we have dryers as well.
Chief Jennison indicated we do not and typically hang them to dry, but they are looking at dryers as well.
Councilmember Bahr asked if the life span is based on the number of years in use or if there are problems with the machines.
Chief Jennison said the seals are going bad and they are getting increasingly expensive to maintain. He also indicated they can adjust the wash cycles, temperatures, spin cycles, and
number of RPMs in the spin drum in accordance with the new NFPA requirements. The older machines can’t do this. The new machine is also able to track the number of times the gear has
been washed so we can do a better job of meeting the NFPA standards.
