Fire chief reports hose and ladder testing, cistern search and airport tabletop exercise
Summary
At the May 12 Select Board meeting the fire chief reported TVFD will conduct hose and ladder testing on Salty Sand Way, is looking for a cistern site on Industrial Way and will participate in a tabletop exercise at the airport.
The town's fire chief told the Select Board on May 12 that town volunteer firefighters will carry out hose and ladder testing on Salty Sand Way on Thursday, and that the department is seeking a site on Industrial Way for a future cistern. The chief said he has not yet heard back from a person named Janna about the cistern location. He also reported that TVFD will take part in a tabletop emergency-preparedness exercise at the airport.
The items were presented as operational updates rather than policy proposals. Board members did not record further directives or formal votes related to the fire-department update during the meeting minutes.
The fire-department actions relate to routine equipment maintenance and longer-term water-supply planning for firefighting. The minutes do not provide a timeline for the cistern project, cost estimates, or which department or landowner would be involved in siting and permitting; those details remain to be determined.
