This course will Discuss the entire process of researching, specifying, ordering, and delivering a new fire apparatus for a fire department. This presentation is not geared towards any specific fire apparatus manufacturer, but it is a class that I have presented to several fire departments over the years about the entire process that goes into purchasing a fire apparatus. This course specifically focuses on utilizing a committee approach for this process. We discuss the entire process that goes into purchasing a new fire apparatus and discuss things that many fire departments should consider when going through this process.
