Note in addition to the IAFF agreement with the U.F.A. & U.F.O.A. about the age of 1st line fire apparatuses, the Board of Fire Underwriters has standards on how old a fire apparatus in common use can be. If apparatuses are more than 10 years old, in most cases and the Fire Insurance rates in a Fire District, City or Town may be increased, by a group called the I.S.O. = Insurance Safety Organization (It think that's right). You can extend the life of an accredited apparatus by 5 years to a total of 15 years, in Major refurbishment and rehabilitation is done on the apparatus, to meet acceptable standards.
