The effectiveness of the Arlington Fire
Department‘s emergency service delivery
is dependent on the reliable operation of
an emergency fleet of engines, aerial
apparatus and auxiliary emergency
vehicles. These essential response
vehicles value $9.7 million (for 33 heavy
fire vehicles) and $1.3 million (for
approximately 58 support vehicles.) The
heavy fire vehicles are the fire trucks and
engines responding every day from fire
stations throughout the city. The support
vehicles are utilized for a variety of other
missions from Inspections and Explosive
Ordnance Disposal, to brush fires,
Battalion Chief vehicles and rescue carts.

Fleet replacement is an important
function. Scheduled replacement of the
Department‘s vehicles and apparatus is
an ongoing process with cooperative
efforts between the AFD‘s Apparatus
Committee and Fleet Management. Dayto-day fleet maintenance is managed
cooperatively between our Apparatus
Specialist, Fleet Management, and AllStar, the City‘s fleet maintenance
provider.
This year, two fire pumpers and three
Battalion Chief vehicles were replaced
using programmed funding. Grant
funding was utilized to specify and place
into service five rescue carts, two support
pickups and a
transport vehicle.
