California Fire Trucks Going Electric

Timothy Birdnow

Maybe they can carry a windmill to pump the water, and use solar panels to power the fire engine?

Severe wildfires arise with regularity, and significant problems with pollution are being caused due to the high levels of traffic. These problems must be overcome to make a sustainable future possible.

The Los Angeles fire department understands such challenges and sets the right example having entered into collaboration with Rosenbauer Group to overcome them using the Electric Fire Truck.

Great; we'll have an electric firetruck run out of battery power when it's needed. And it will cost three or four times as much as a gas or diesel truck.

I did not know fire trucks were such a major source of pollution, especially in wildfire season.

Hat tip; John Lees.

1 I noticed they said the wildfires are increasing due to climate change. What a crock! Too many people still believe this nonsense.

3 Electric fire trucks is trivia in the catalog of California crazy.

San Diego is spending $30 million to buy 250,000 recycling bin and kitchen pails so city residents can comply with a new state law that requires them to begin recycling food scraps. The city faces millions more in ongoing costs to buy, fuel and service new trash trucks to and to hire drivers.

The idea is that residents will keep the pails, which have lids, under the sink or somewhere else in the kitchen, and periodically empty the pails into larger recycling bins kept outdoors or in the garage. The pails "generally work pretty well at controlling odors," according to the article. And there is a summer sale on the Brooklyn Bridge. I’m accepting bids for two more weeks.

The article notes that most cities send their food waste to "anaerobic recycling centers” which turns the waste into "clean fuel,” which might actually work. But how much fuel, used by whom, and at what cost per gallon?

San Diego, however, will add its food wast to the composting operation presently in service for green waste, which is inside the city limits. Composting is an aerobic process, and cannot accept meat (for instance, among many other food items) because when exposed to air it will rot instead of compost, creating a disasterous stench and drawing flies, beetles and a host of other pests. It will, in fact, render the rest of the compost unusable.

San Diego council members apparently didn’t bother to find this out, were only interested in avoiding the cost of investing in the "anaerobic recycling center.”

4 Amazing, Bill, but probably not surprising. I just wonder if San Diego will create and fund a "recycling inspection corps" to search residents' homes to ensure that they are, in fact, recycling their food wastes. They'd also have to disable every sink garbage disposal unit in the city.

5 Yeah, I would expect a state law soon that would ban installation of garbage disposals in new construction.

6 It was very much created and straightforward. Not at all like extra web journals I have perused which are truly not unreasonably great. I likewise discovered your All VIP Escorts posts exceptionally intriguing certainty subsequent to perusing. I needed to go show it to my companion and he delighted in it too!

8 They still do Dana, or pretend to anyway. It's too useful a tool for fundamental societal change to let go.

9 Man you live in a crazy state Bill. Excellent birds-eye view; I'm going to repost this as a stand along.

10 The ConceptFireTruck is electrically powered and is, therefore, environmentally friendly, maneuverable and safe. In June 2020, the CFT becomes the RT (Revolutionary Technology), a new vehicle series that brings the advantages and functionalities of the CFT into series production.

11 n thefirestation,enginesarealwaysplugged into a "shore line” tokeepthe batteries charged and the engine warm so it is ready to go. This is not an option while on scene. Power from therunningengine is required torunthe pump and distribute water. The motor also powers lights and emergency flashers.

12 Hello, I am fromrise of empires: ice and firepage group, This is a good idea, but I must admit that it probably won't do much. The 8-hour battery is definitely enough, but you can make calls at any time. If it takes 4 hours to charge, yes, it just won't work. The first call you go to the structure fire. Well, it's already 1-3 hours wasted for everything to work. You go back and oh maybe 30 minutes of charging and then you get your meds. Well, 15-30 minutes for medicine. Come back, 15 minutes of charging, then a car accident. Another 45 to an hour.
