Objective #5: Responsible Consumption - this system utilizes an energy efficient electric
motor.
Background:
In the 2008 Capital Budget Council has approved the purchase and installation of a
replacement vehicle exhaust extrication system for Station 6. The existing system has
become problematic and also costly to maintain. Our other three fire stations use a
Nederman exhaust system that has proven to be a more tested design in operation,
efficiency and maintenance. All of our vehicles have had the necessary vehicle
modifications to utilize this system. It is my recommendation that in order to perhaps cut
down on maintenance and modification costs, and in the interest of uniformity, that we
proceed with the Nederman system.
Nederman Canada is a division of Nederman International, a Swedish based company
that is clearly the system of choice for Fire Station exhaust systems in Ontario.
