Volunteers from Station 13 presented a $40,000 donation and the board approved purchasing a 2026 Ram 2500 to serve as a brush truck for Station 13.
Captain Levitt summarized fundraising and recent response to a local brush fire, then handed a receipt and donation to county staff. Chair Bill Miranda said staff located a vehicle for $55,595 out‑the‑door; with the volunteers' $40,000 donation the county will fund the remaining roughly $15,000 from existing budget slots. The board moved and voted to approve purchase of the vehicle.
