Due to a change in Federal highway safety law, the RFD has implemented a Special Order mandating the use of high-visibilty safety vests when operating on any roadway. The only exception to their use will be in situations involving fire or hazardous materials, where use of the vest may expose the wearer to further dangers. Vests have been placed on all apparatus.
RFD members are advised to consult their email, departmental mailboxes, or the bulletin board for further information. (For any members who did not receive today's email, please contact C9 to update your email address.)

Preconstruction Conference
 |
| From E-One 2008 |
Today the Truck Committee completed the pre-construction conference for Engine 1 at the E-One plant in Ocala, FL. Every item was considered and reviewed in the day-long meeting, to ensure that the truck we get is the exact item we've ordered. This isn't exactly like building a pickup truck!
We've now reviewed and approved the plans, so the project can join the production schedule. Tentative delivery time is currently in the May/June 2009 area.
The day ended with a tour around the plant, both to observe the operation and to learn from some of the other apparatus present on the line.
