Commission approves donation of surplus fire apparatus to Rockville High School cadet program
Summary
The commission approved donation of a decommissioned fire apparatus to Rockville High School’s firefighter cadet class pending operational checks; staff said the vehicle will be inspected and made operable before transfer.
Rutherford County commissioners approved donating a surplus fire apparatus to Rockville High School’s firefighter cadet program after county staff described the vehicle and use plan. The commission was told the apparatus will be inspected and returned to operable condition before transfer and will be used in cadet classes previously taught by county firefighters.
During the discussion the presenter noted that the county would install a battery and ensure the vehicle's systems function before turning it over to the school. "We'll make sure everything's operating before we turn it over," the presenter said.
A motion to approve the donation was made, seconded and approved by voice/roll-call vote with commissioners indicating support. No additional conditions or funding were attached in the public discussion; staff will coordinate vehicle preparation and the transfer with the school.
The action is recorded as an approved surplus transfer; county staff will follow standard surplus property procedures and report back if further approvals are required.
