(Fire Chief Firstner) The Ocoee Fire Department currently have new hydraulic rescue extrication equipment on all of the first run fire apparatus. There are two (2) sets of old hydraulic tools in storage, slated for surplus and auction this year. City Commission Regular December 15, 2009 Attempts were made to trade in the old sets toward the purchase of new equipment, but were turned down by vendors due to the age of the equipment. With proper maintenance and care the older equipment still operates.
