• The community fire protection rating affects insurance rates for home/property NFPA 1901- Annex D Standard for Automotive Apparatus

• First due fire apparatus should be no more than 15 years old. • Fire apparatus should be removed from service at 25 years. • The average age of SLCFR’s fleet is 24 years. • SLCFR has not financially been in a position to purchase fire engines. • Upgrading the fleet will increase ISO point values for scoring purposes. • Upgrading the fleet provides for OSHA 2In-2Out compliance for interior fire attack not currently met. Upgrading the fleet will improve firefighter and citizen safety! Insurance Services Office (ISO)

• Establishes community fire protection rating. • Old or outdated equipment costs points. • New equipment helps increase overall points. • Point gains help improve overall score. • Leads to better protection rating. • Better protection may reduce premiums. Proposed Purchases
