BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The St. Joseph Fire Relief Association has donated a portable deck gun
to assist them while fighting fires. The following is a brief description of the equipment:
R.A.M. is easily deployed and operated by a single firefighter. Its patent-pending hydraulic stability
system harnesses reaction force to stabilize the monitor. Four fold-out forged aluminum legs with
carbide-tipped ground spikes extend to the largest footprint in its class for exceptional stability. The rear
ground spikes are angled to help the carbide tips grip the ground surface. The R.A.M. can be carried
while attached to a charged line. Exclusive patent pending-design lowers friction loss and produces
consistent stream quality in all ranges of motion. The R.A.M. can be stored pre-connected and features
an ergonomic U-shaped valve handle. Attached safety strap includes storage pouch.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Addition of $ 2,700.74 in equipment assets
