Pierce County approves purchase of two 10‑gallon Enforcer foam firefighting units
Summary
The Pierce County commission approved buying two Enforcer 10‑gallon foam firefighting apparatuses from MECO for $5,735.30 each (total $11,470.60) from the Fire Equipment Purchase Fund to reach small or confined areas, the fire chief said.
Pierce County commissioners voted June 3 to purchase two Enforcer 10‑gallon foam firefighting apparatuses from MECO at $5,735.30 apiece, $11,470.60 in total, to enable firefighters to access smaller areas that full‑size fire engines cannot reach.
Fire Chief Chris Todd told the board the units can fit in the back of a truck, golf cart, or side‑by‑side vehicle and are intended to provide firefighting capability in confined or otherwise hard‑to‑reach locations. "This apparatus will fit in the back of a truck, golf cart, or side by side and will be able to go into smaller areas that the larger firetrucks cannot," Todd said.
Commissioner David Lowman moved to approve the purchase; Commissioner Graham Raley seconded the motion and the board carried it. The purchase will be paid from the Fire Equipment Purchase Fund, according to the meeting record. The transcript records the price per unit and the total but does not include an itemized invoice or vendor contract number in the minutes.
