Portable generators will offer the Fire stations continued r-ie service in emergency situations
when the primary electrical functions of the Fire stations are unable to perform due to an electrical
outage or when additional coverage is needed. These generators are a mobile system, designed for a
rapid response deployable in minutes, ensuring immediate attention to the Fire stations that need
assistance in power outages due to natural or manmade disasters. By having these mobile generators
available in case a Fire station's generator needs to be replaced, ensures that all major emergency

are kept safe. The generators are accessorized with their own trailers for deployment.
