Mr. Chairman, the department is going to be doing a review of all the fire trucks within the communities. In particular, those 15 years and older. However, I think it is a well-understood fact that fire trucks are not the type of vehicle that is going to generate many miles. The fact that these things are 15 to 20 years old is based on the life of the vehicle, depending on the number of hours in the vehicle and the number of hours on a motor.
If you take into consideration the fact that it takes 20 years for these motors to generate the same number of hours that a large truck on the highway would generate, that is what is used to arrive at a time line for replacement.
I understand where the Member is coming from. I understand his concern. We certainly will be looking at all of these vehicles to ensure they are serviceable and they can respond to an emergency as required. We also have a plan in place where after they would reach a certain life, we replace them. That is what we are using as a guideline right now.
