“I’m an advocate for electric vehicles—it’s a more efficient
technology and shifting City vehicles from gas-powered to electric
is another step we can take toward reaching our Climate Action Plan
goals,” said Mayor John Giles. “We look forward to this as a study
in the potential cost-savings and efficiency of electric vehicles
in City operations. This is further testament to Mesa’s investment
in public safety and our Mesa Fire and Medical Department’s strong
tradition of innovation and leadership in the state and the
nation.”
The new fire truck excels at sustainability and performance with
low to no carbon emissions, less noise pollution, range extension
for prolonged power needs and life-long batteries. It can pump four
hose lines at 750 gallons per minute for four hours on a single
charge – allowing for continuous emergency response, when
needed.
“The communities this electric fire truck will serve were built
over the former GM Proving Grounds - where concept vehicles were
tested. Eastmark is the focus of the innovation mindset in Mesa. It
is reflected in our street names like Ampere Avenue, Innovation
Way, South Electron, and Inspiration Parkway. It seems only fitting
Southeast Mesa is home to this first innovative fire apparatus,”
said District 6 Councilmember Scott Somers.
Station 221 is equipped with an electrical charger capable of
fully recharging the fire truck in approximately 3 and a half
hours. The fire station, which opened in 2021, was designed and
built to keep firefighters healthy and safe. Safety measures
include positive pressure airflow to keep contaminants out of
living areas, exhaust capturing systems to remove vehicle exhaust
in the bays while fire trucks are running prior to leaving the
station and a decontamination area which now includes showers for
firefighters to remove contaminants prior to entering living
areas.
“We are proud of what today signifies. As a department, we are
taking a unique step towards improving the health and safety of our
personnel,” said Fire Chief Mary Cameli. “Every innovative step
that contributes to the overall health and safety of our personnel
is a step in the right direction. As a department, we are fortunate
to be part of a city that uses data and research combined with
technology and a willingness to test ideas and analyze the results.
Trailblazing, the use of technology like this truck to help reduce
the risks to our crews exemplifies the Mesa Way.”
“On behalf of Fire Truck Solutions, E-ONE and REV Fire Group, we
are delighted that City of Mesa and Mesa Fire and Medical have
chosen the E-ONE to support the city’s goal of achieving carbon
neutrality by 2050,” said REV Fire Group President Mike Virnig.
“Thank you to the City of Mesa and Mesa Fire and Medical for your
partnership.”
Funding for Mesa’s all-electric fire truck is from 2018 bonds
approved by voters and the City’s General Fund.
