Title:
Hearing regarding the size of the Fire Department fire trucks and whether the trucks should be
somewhat smaller in order to better navigate San Francisco’s varied streets, including narrow streets
in various parts of the city that have less than 20 feet of street clearance; the Department should be
prepared to discuss its vehicle procurement process and specifications to secure vehicles, as well as
any changes in vehicle size over time; the hearing will also consider a report by the Budget and
Legislative Analyst (BLA) identifying best practices from other cities on the procurement of fire
vehicles for local conditions, including use of smaller trucks in order to navigate narrow streets; the
BLA will also evaluate changes in the Department’s vehicle sizes over time.
