Local Government Minister Directs Councils To Buy Fire Trucks From Belarus

Reads the circular:

Ref: 14 June 2022 All Town Clerks/Town Secretaries/Chief Executive Officers

RE: PROCUREMENT OF FIRE TENDERS FROM BELARUS ON BEHALF OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES

Reference is made to the above

In a bid to alleviate capital equipment shortages in Local Authorities, the Government of Zimbabwe will procure fire tenders from Belarus on a Government to Government agreement. Each Rural Local Authority will get one fire tender. Urban Local Authorities will get two and a Metropolitan Local Authority will get three fire tenders. The funds to procure the equipment will be deducted from the 2022 Devolution Allocations and will be done over a period of twelve months starting March 2022. The cost of each fire tender is USD 464 296. It is therefore advisable for Local Authorities to reprioritise the Devolution Funds to accommodate the cost of the fire tenders.

Please note that the date of delivery will be advised in due course. Find attached the total cost of the equipment and payment done so far.

While the cost of fire tenders varies due to a number of factors, some full-size fire trucks and fire engines on eBay cost under $20 000 while The Falcon 8×8, the World’s largest firetruck costs about $1.1 Million.
