BACKGROUND
The City of Laredo Fire Department has identified one surplus vehicle, a 2005 American LaFrance Truck, Vin# 4z3aaacg75ru37498 (Unit #189), for donation to the Municipality of Queretaro, Queretaro, Mexico. The vehicle has been fully depreciated, holds minimal or no monetary value, and is no longer part of the City’s active fleet.
