All fire departments have trucks and gear, and the maintenance and care of the equipment that’s depended on to save lives and keep firefighters safe comes with its own set of challenges and best practices.

There has been a rapid-fire evolution of fire apparatus alongside a decline in the number of people trained to repair them. There is a need for training and mentorship to address the specialized knowledge needed to fix today’s complex apparatus. Electric fire trucks, and electric vehicles as party of the emergency response team, are becoming a reality for municipalities.

Fire fighting equipment is highly specialized and best practices in cleaning and maintenance are key for these critical investments.
