The Town maintained its Class 3, a rating main- <br />tained by less than 15% of the communities across the <br />country. The Department is utilizing the review's findings <br />to improve its training procedures, equipment and person- <br />nel needs. <br />Orders for two pieces of equipment were finalized with the <br />prospective vendors. The first is a replacement for Engine <br />1, awarded to American LaFrance, to be delivered in April <br />of 2008. The second is for the replacement of Engine 5, <br />awarded to CBS Specialty Inc of Smithfield RI; this truck <br />will be identified as Forestry 1 and is also scheduled to be <br />delivered in April of 2008. The continual upgrade of the <br />Department's Self Contained Breathing Apparatus is <br />ongoing, providing for enhanced firefighter safety. <br />continued on next page <br />Page 26 2006 Annual Report, Town of Lexington <br />
