Chevron’s Donation Buys
Fire Department New Engine
The El Segundo Fire Department received
a donation from the Chevron refinery totaling
$758,720 that will be used to purchase a new
fire engine. This is one of two donations that
Chevron has pledged to the department, the
other being a $213,389 donation that will be
used to purchase a new rescue ambulance. Both
the fire engine and ambulance have been custom
designed by El Segundo fire personnel to meet
the unique demands of the community. The
fire engine is being built by Pierce and will
be identical to the 2016 fire engine in service
today. The rescue ambulance is being built by
Braun Northwest with custom design features
like liquid suspension for patient comfort during
transport to hospitals. El Segundo Fire Chief
Chris Donovan stated, “These two purchases
will complete the modernization of the entire
El Segundo Fire Department fleet, placing the
City in a solid position for the next 10 years.”
The City will be adding to the Chevron donation
by purchasing another front-line rescue
ambulance from Braun Northwest, placing a
new fire engine and two new ambulances in
service by the end of the year. Chief Donovan
indicated that between the generous donations
from Chevron and State reimbursements from
brush fire responses, no general fund dollars
are being used for the $1.1 million apparatus
purchases. Donovan added, “The existing
budget within the equipment replacement
fund for a new fire engine can now be used
for other purposes and it will be up to the
City to determine how best to redistribute
over $225,000 that had been earmarked for
the fire engine purchase.”
Chevron El Segundo Refinery Manager of
Corporate Affairs Rod Spackman remarked,
“We were recently presented the opportunity
to provide funding for a new fire engine and
emergency ambulance for the El Segundo
Fire Department. We have appreciated the
opportunity to work collaboratively with the
Chief and City in both identifying needed
equipment and providing resources to further
enhance the department’s exceptional
community emergency response capability.”
