$23,723.79, 10% matching funds for APX 8000H Radios
Firefighter’s put themselves in harm’s way every day. The last thing they need to worry about is safe communication. The APX 8000H is designed for use in areas where there are routinely dangerous concentrations of flammable gases, vapors, liquids or combustible dust. This radio has an adaptive audio engine that provides the loudest, clearest audio at any volume, in any environment. The APX 8000H transmits and receives on all commonly used frequencies, so they can communicate with different agencies using the same radio.

Replacement Ladder Tender
Contributing to a replacement Ladder Tender/Paramedic Engine. The current Ladder Tender 131 is old, with very high mileage, and growing maintenance expenses. The photo is an example of a replacement heavy-duty unit similar to the ones in use by Glendale, Surprise, and Phoenix. Its ready-to-roll cost could exceed $300,000.
