From: Lewis Broschard, Chief, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
Report Title: Donation of Twelve (12) X3 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBAs) to Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
DECLARE as surplus, and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to donate twelve (12) X3 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units, including associated components, from the inventory of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District to the Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District (CCFPD), at no cost, in accordance with applicable County policies governing the disposition of surplus equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the donation of this equipment as the equipment has reached the end of its use with the District.
BACKGROUND:
The CCCFPD has recently upgraded its SCBA inventory and identified twelve (12) X3 SCBA units as surplus. These units are no longer required for CCCFPD operations but remain functional and suitable for use by partner agencies.
The Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District has requested these units to support frontline and reserve operations. The donation will enhance firefighter safety, support regional interoperability, and strengthen mutual-aid readiness between agencies at no cost to the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve this action, CCCFPD will retain surplus SCBA units that are not needed for District operations, and Crockett-Carquinez Fire will forgo the opportunity to improve operational safety and readiness.
