Fire and Rescue reports call volume; committee approves two budget amendments for training, maintenance and supplies
Summary
Fire and Rescue reported monthly runs, including structure and brush fires, and the committee approved two budget amendments reallocating funds for permits, training software, maintenance, custodial supplies and furniture.
A Fire and Rescue representative summarized February activity, reporting countywide response totals that included structure fires, brush fires, illegal burns and vehicle fires. The presenter said the monthly packet includes a detailed unit‑by‑unit report and concluded with budget amendment requests.
The committee approved an amendment to increase a fire‑permits line item by $25,000 to cover updated training software and related other charges; the speaker said other charges of about $3,000 and roughly $17,000 for maintenance and fire‑prevention materials were also identified in the request. A second amendment moved $10,000 from a part‑time personnel line item into custodial supplies for new stations, placed $12,300 into furniture and fixtures, and moved $15,400 from utilities into other supplies. Both amendments passed by motion and roll call.
Commissioners approved the Fire and Rescue report and thanked staff for the monthly update. The speaker said details of the training‑software procurement will be returned to the committee as that process advances.
