doors and two (2) half doors and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 19,500-pounds.

Seney NWR is replacing their Type 6 engine.

Currently, we have eleven Working Capital Fund

(WCF) engines in the Region. Within DOI, BFX holds the current contract for WCF engines. In an effort to increase safety and improve interoperability within the Region, we are attempting to move our fleet of Type 6 engines to a standardized package. Having a standardized engine package allows personnel to move around the Region and already be familiar with the engine¿s operation before they are placed in stressful situations suppressing wildfires.

Currently, the DOI national specifications for a light Wildland Fire engine are being met by BFX

Fire Apparatus. BFX is the only manufacturer that puts together a body that is made of a fiberglass blend that is capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures. Along with withstanding the high temperatures, the fiberglass provides a lightweight, strong, corrosion free structure that can hold up to all the tests a wildland fire engine may endure. The configuration that BFX provides is an "all encompassing" body. This means that the tank, pump, compartments, storage boxes, shelving, etc.

140F0621Q0197 are all one unit that is removable from the chassis without disassembly of any compartments, flooring, or other structural components. No other manufacturer does this. Since this design can withstand so much without decay, it will far outlast the chassis it is mounted on. Since this unit is easily removable, one would be able to take this unit and move it over to another chassis once the original chassis has met it's service life. This whole body package can fit onto a space no greater than 60" from cab to axle, whereas others require an 84" spacing. BFX provides a "complete" build of the package to the chassis. This entails:

-installing all of the emergency lighting required (along with wiring and interior control counsel)

-applying all of the exterior vinyl striping/lettering/graphics required by USFWS standards

-pre-wiring for the chassis required two-way radios (along with antennae)

-installing a "Do Not Move Apparatus" indicator to prevent damage to the equipment if an exterior door is open or ajar

-installation of a heavy duty front bumper

-installation of under chassis shielding

-installation of a heavy duty rear bumper

-installation of moveable exterior work lights

-installation of step lights that illuminate the chassis cab step area and rear bumper area

-installation of chassis interior control switch panel that controls the power and function to the pump/hose reel/emergency lighting/exterior work lights

-Importantly, installation of a Waterax BB-4 pump that is powered by a Kubota model D902 25 hp four cycle diesel engine. This engine's fuel line and power supply are directly linked to the chassis fuel storage and power supply. This means that as long as the truck has fuel in its tank, the pump will run.

In comparison, other manufactures do not meet these standards. Other manufactures typically provide a flatbed for the chassis and a separate

They do not provide the above stated specifications that BFX provides. All of those previously stated accessories would have to be added to the package before it met the DOI standards for a wildland fire engine. By having them added later, it adds expense and can create issues by having multiple entities being responsible for different parts. This means, multiple vendors being responsible for guaranteeing their own product, versus BFX being the sole vendor guaranteeing all of the parts holistically.

BFX meets the DOI national standard and is the only vendor that provides the complete package listed in Block 2. WCF (BFX) engines are used nationally among DOI bureaus. Therefore, this engine will have a "universal" functionality. It would be able to go to any national emergency incident and function like other DOI engines.

This means that it would take little time for an individual to become familiar with this engine since it will look and function like most of the other DOI engines currently in use. This provides an extra margin of safety for FWS firefighters.
