Ithaca (NY) Fire Department Wants Green Fleet

Ithaca and its fire department are working to make the city a greener place, with department officials leading the way.

Indeed. Ithaca Fire Department Chief Tom Parsons gave a presentation at the June 1 Common Council meeting to divulge the department’s plans to replace its fleet with electric trucks.

He says that the department has been tinkering with how to meet the city’s goal of reducing emissions from its vehicles by 50% of 2001 levels by 2025, with a goal of carbon neutrality by 2030.

In the meantime, the department has been purchasing cleaner vehicles. It currently boasts three hybrid SUV vehicles and is waiting on delivery of an electric pick-up. Furthermore, the yet-to-be-built East Hill Fire Station will be fully electric, sans the emergency generator.
