The Lee Board of County Commissioners has approved the purchase of two complete sets of battery-powered hydraulic rescue tools for USAR Task Force 6. These tools include spreaders, saw blades, rams, and combination tools, all rated for fresh and saltwater use and compliant with FEMA cache standards. This approval allows for statewide standardization of equipment for all 12 task forces. The purchase was reviewed and approved by the State Fire Marshall's Office. Funds for this purchase are fully reimbursable through the Florida Division of Financial Services, meaning there is no cost to the County. This project involves the procurement and delivery of specialized rescue equipment. Businesses that supply or distribute emergency response equipment, safety gear, or related tools may find opportunities. Early engagement before final ordering could be beneficial.
