The program was created to enhance a community's ability to respond to terrorist <br /> attacks. <br /> The Fire Department has three front line Truck Companies, equipped with hydraulic rescue tools. <br /> On December 1, 2008, the City Council approved replacement extraction equipment for two of <br /> the truck companies. This purchase will complete the upgrade by outfitting the third Truck <br /> Company with lighter, more durable hydraulic rescue tools.

The City of Los Angeles' contract with Fire <br /> Service Specification & Supply was awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding, and meets <br /> <br /> the City's requirements. Staff recommends the purchase of the rescue extraction equipment. <br /> 22A-1 <br /> <br />
