[Unverified] Evo City Fire Department

**Reebs**

Greetings,

It has been a while since you have last heard from us, so I felt it best to give an update on our current situation on both the firematic and non-firematic side of things.

To begin with, the ECFD has acquired new equipment which is to be mounted on our apparatus. This equipment includes brand new Scott Sight SCBA masks, which have a Thermal Imaging Camera integrated into the mask's heads-up display. This tool is essential for operation on the fireground as it allows the truck officer to carry one less piece of equipment. Thermal Imaging Cameras, better known as TICs, are used to find any hidden fires, trapped individuals, and check the condition of chemicals which can be found in the many warehouses and businesses in EvoCity. These masks will be given to each one of our officers. In addition, we have upgraded our supply line from a 4-inch to a 5-inch, a universal line which will enable us to move more water from a Hydrant to our apparatus. We have also invested in new nozzles for our inch and 1/2, inch and 3/4, and 2-inch attack lines.

Onto the non-firematic side of things, our budget for the upcoming year has been finalized and will be released to the public soon. In addition, we have updated our CAD software, and changed from the City Dispatch center to the County Communications Network, which will allow for easier calls for mutual aid.
