Audubon fire chief reports house fire, 4-minute response time and new equipment procurement
Summary
At the Dec. 2 caucus Fire Chief Patrick Slemmer reported a major house fire with no injuries, noted the department achieved a roughly 4-minute response time, and said new equipment procurement is underway with borough support.
Fire Chief Patrick Slemmer reported to the Board of Commissioners on Dec. 2 that a major house fire occurred on the college side of town. He said there were no injuries to firefighters or civilians and that the department achieved a roughly 4-minute response time for that incident, which the minutes describe as an exceptional result for the volunteer department.
Slemmer told commissioners new equipment procurement is underway with borough support to meet industry standards; the minutes do not specify the equipment types, procurement schedule, or budget amounts. The meeting record lists 42 Audubon fire calls for November and a year-to-date total of 485 calls.
The board recorded the fire report as part of departmental updates; no formal vote or additional action items on procurement were recorded in the caucus minutes. Follow-up on procurement procurements, contract details, and implementation timelines will be needed to assess impact and schedule.
