Broussard approves donation of 1994 Pierce fire truck to Baldwin
Summary
Council approved Resolution 841-25 declaring a 1994 Pierce fire truck salvage and authorizing donation to the town of Baldwin; Fire Chief Chompine described the truck’s history and Baldwin’s need.
The City of Broussard Council approved Resolution 841-25 on June 9, 2025, declaring a 1994 Pierce fire truck (VIN 0651) salvage and authorizing its donation to the town of Baldwin.
Fire Chief Chompine told the council the truck was donated to Broussard in the past to cover an extended repair period when another truck was out of service for about nine months. "This truck was donated to us to get us through that time. We've since got that truck back, and ... we no longer need this one," Chief Chompine said. He said Baldwin's fleet includes units older than the 1994 Pierce and that the donation "would mean a lot to the town of Baldwin." The Baldwin mayor was not present but has expressed gratitude and intends to attend a future council meeting to offer thanks.
Nut graf: The council declared the vehicle salvage and approved an active donation to Baldwin to help that town's emergency fleet. The action formalizes transfer of surplus municipal equipment to a neighboring jurisdiction.
Action and vote: The resolution passed by unanimous roll-call vote; no public comment was recorded. The transcript does not include details about transfer logistics, condition beyond age, costs, or whether any formal agreement accompanies the donation.
