SCBA packs, bottles and hoses found compliant; ET334 certified and upgraded
Summary
The commission heard that SCBA air packs and 4,500 PSI bottles were fit tested, air compressor, ladders and hoses were compliance-tested, and ET334 received DOT certification and upgrades during recent maintenance work.
Chief Bruce Dixon told commissioners that the department completed compliance checks on personal protective and apparatus equipment: SCBA air packs and 4,500 PSI bottles were fit tested, the air compressor was tested, ladders and fire hose were compliance-tested, and ET334 received its DOT certification along with several upgrades.
Those checks were presented as part of routine maintenance and readiness work; Dixon said such testing ensures member safety and apparatus reliability, and that funds transfers had been requested to address training, turnout gear and apparatus repairs as needed.
