Otisfield Fire Chief reports Engine Four delivered and outlines turnout-pack procurement plan
Summary
Fire Chief Jordan said Engine Four is delivered and operational, Engine One has been reconfigured and stored at Gore Road, Greenwood Emergency Vehicles provided training, and the chief will pursue compliant turnout packs via bid and potential grants, using budget funds in the near term.
Chief Jordan updated the Select Board that Engine Four has been delivered and is now operational. Greenwood Emergency Vehicles conducted a training session for staff, and Engine One has been reconfigured and is stored at Gore Road.
The chief reported receiving clarification on new turnout‑pack requirements and said he may have the opportunity to procure packs that comply with the established standards from another city department; that acquisition would be put out to bid. Chief Jordan said he believes his current budget can cover the purchase in the near term, allowing additional time to pursue grant opportunities for new packs.
