Ottawa has ordered 12 additional KME engines, same as the 12 received last year. 2 Sprinter vans are being outfitted as fire investigation units, complete with an office and equipment storage capabilities for the investigators.
A new hazmat truck has been ordered from EVI in Florida. Based on a Spartan Gladiator 3 door, extra long cab with 24 inch raised roof and tandem axles, this will be a very large truck. Plans are to show this truck at FDIC in 2015. Option for a second unit is included in the contract, but will not be ordered for a while yet.
4 tankers are being designed, on a completely new format for Ottawa, as well as a new brush tanker and 4 or 5 new brush trucks.
Ottawa Fire has revitalized its large fleet of apparatus over the past several years. The city is now very well equipped.

No ladder or platform project?

Ladders will be redesigned over the next 2 years, but no funding for any until 2016/17, when up to 6 may be ordered.

Are they planning to go with E\-One like the older aerials?

There will be a complete redesign of our specifications, and it will be open to any bidder when the time comes.
