Hartselle council approves surplus sale of old ladder truck, radios to fund fire training props
Summary
The City Council declared multiple fire department items surplus, including a 1997 Pierce Lance 100' ladder truck and 24 Motorola handheld radios, and approved selling them with proceeds designated for training props for the new fire station.
Council President Dr. Charles M. Gill II said the Hartselle City Council unanimously approved a request from Fire Chief Daryl Fox to declare multiple fire department items surplus and sell some of them to raise funds for training equipment.
Chief Fox asked the council to declare 24 Motorola XTS 1500 handheld radios, 10 chargers and six microphones surplus and authorized placement for sale on GovDeals or Radiowell. He also asked that a 1997 Pierce Lance 100' ladder truck (apparatus only, no equipment) be listed for sale on Firetruckmall.com. Chief Fox said five pairs of turnout boots, twelve helmets, two pairs of turnout pants and four turnout coats are expired and will be destroyed.
Council Member Mike Swafford moved to approve the surplus declaration; Council Member Austin Baker seconded. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. Chief Fox requested that proceeds from sales be used to purchase training props for the department’s new fire station.
The council did not specify reserve prices or exact sale timelines during the meeting; sale platforms named were GovDeals, Radiowell and Firetruckmall.com. The city will proceed with the disposal and sale process consistent with its procurement and surplus procedures.
