The replaced fire hose is used on reserve fire apparatus or <br />stored for unexpected emergencies. <br /> <br />The Fire Department's Maintenance Section also replaces damaged and <br />extremely worn hand tools as needed. Safety equipment such as gloves, <br />goggles, and fire helmets are replaced as necessary when deemed <br />inadequate for protection. The recommended action will allow for fire <br />hose replacement and the purchase of the necessary equipment to <br />facilitate the Fire Department in daily operations. <br /> <br />Page 55 22.C. <br /> <br /> <br />
