23 units to be placed throughout TVF&R's service area over time

Annually, TVF&R puts almost a million miles on its fleet responding to emergencies and other service calls. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of apparatus is key to the District’s reliability and quick response times. The typical lifespan of emergency response apparatus is 15 years and/or approximately 150,000 miles.

TVF&R's capital improvement bond is purchasing replacement apparatus over time, as existing front-line engines reach their 15-year age or 150,000 mile threshold. The opening of Station 50 in Tigard will required purchase of new apparatus, as will the replacement of the stations in West Linn. The bond will also pay for a new ladder truck (most likely in or near Tualatin) and a rescue vehicle in Sherwood.

New and replacement apparatus anticipated for purchase over time as part of the bond include:

• 15 – Engines
• 2 – Trucks
• 2 – Water Tenders
• 2 – Transport Rescues
• 1 – Rescue Pumper
• 1 – Heavy Rescue
