Boulder Fire-Rescue has purchased an electric fire engine, the first of its kind in Colorado, with a promise of increased occupational safety for firefighters.
On Monday morning, the City of Boulder said its fire department bought a Rosenbauer RTX fire engine, which is expected to be delivered in late 2024 or early 2025. The estimated cost is $1.78 million.
"The purchase also represents a broader movement to go electric that goes beyond personal vehicles to include larger, more powerful machines, including emergency vehicles that must be reliable and able to perform under challenging conditions," the city said. City Manager Nuria Rivera-Vandermyde called it another example of Boulder's leadership in addressing climate change.
In August 2018, the U.S. Federal Transit Agency announced its 2018 Low- and No-Emission bus grants. The FTA awarded a total of $84.4 million to 52 different agencies around the country, including Colorado. The local grant recipients included Eagle County Transportation Authority, the"Electric Breck” plan in Breckenridge, Summit County, and Estes Park.
An updated Colorado Vehicle Plan was released in April 2020, which included more details on plans to electrify the vehicles on the roads. State officials are working to increase that number. In March 2021, Colorado Parks and Wildlife announced it would help bring charging infrastructure to every state park through a partnership with Rivian, an American electric-vehicle manufacturer based in Michigan.
