The first 4 Metros are scheduled to be delivered sometime in April. They will be assigned to Ladders 7, 11, 19 & 21. They will replace the 4 2004 Pierce Dash 100' rearmounts in service. The remaining 4 are scheduled to be delivered by the end of the year. They will be assigned to Ladder 25, with the remaining 3 TBD.
Engine 5 & District 1 will be moving to the quarters of E9/L2 this summer for approximately 6 months to accommodate repairs to the apparatus floor.
New 35' fireboat has been delivered. It will go into service after the members of the Marine Unit have been trained in its use. The John S. Damrell has been relocated to Rowes Wharf while a new dock is constructed at Battery Wharf. Once the new boat goes into service the Damrell will be OOS for approximately 1 month for an overhaul.
Starting in the '16-17 Fiscal Year, firehouses will be closed & companies relocated for 2 week periods in order for each house to be industrially cleaned from top to bottom. This will be done on a rotating basis.
A lease/purchase program is being pursued with E\-One and/or Pierce. Possibly E\-One for the aerials & Pierce for the pumpers
New firehouses still in the pipeline for E17/L7/D7 & E42/R2/D9. Also a new firehouse in the Seaport District is very likely.
