Newberry County reports station generators, two ambulances in service and roof repair; FEMA consultants to present to council
Summary
Tommy Long said station generators are being installed at several stations, two new ambulances are now in service, the Fairview engine is expected soon, St. Phillips roof repairs are complete, and FEMA reimbursement consultants will brief full council at the next meeting.
Tommy Long provided an update on emergency services infrastructure and equipment projects.
Long said station generators are being installed at Pomaria, Little Mountain, UVA Rescue and St. Phillips; pads and wiring are in progress and installations should be complete by April. He reported that two new ambulances have been placed into service and that Fairview’s engine is expected to be delivered within weeks. Long confirmed that the roof at St. Phillips has been repaired to address leaks.
Long also said he moved the usual FEMA update to the full council meeting so that all council members could see the presentation; consultants will present an update on FEMA reimbursements at the next council meeting. When asked whether the St. Phillips roof work resulted from a hail insurance claim, Long said it was not an insurance hail claim but that the damage was noticed after hail passed through the area.
Next steps: installation work will continue and FEMA consultants will present reimbursements at the next council meeting.
