BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Fire Department changed the size of hose used for structural
fire fighting from 1 1/2 inch to larger 1 31 inch hose. In addi.t on, the
fire department has changed from 2 `/z 3/4 inch
cotton jacketed hose to a
synthetic Jacketed hose and no longer uses the 2 1/2 inch cotton
jacketed hose. The department currently has 1,400 feet of l %2 inch
hose and 300 feet of 2 '/2, inch cotton jacketed hose. Fire Department
staff have researched the salvage value of the hose and found the hose
has no value, however, the couplings are worth approximately $5.40 a
pair. Therefore, we estimate the salvage value of the surplus hose at
$200,00.
The City of lone Fire Department and the Lodi Unified School District regional Occupation Program
operate on limited budgets that rely on purchases of second -band equipment and/or donations from
departments such as ours.
The above mentioned hose is serviceable and will directly assist both agencies ability to provide service.
