Cedar Creek volunteer fire chief says department needs new air packs and gear
Summary
Chief Derek Ahl told trustees the Cedar Creek Volunteer Fire Department has 22 members, recently received portable radios from Plattsmouth FD and needs replacement air packs and turnout gear, prompting discussion of equipment planning.
Chief Derek Ahl updated the Cedar Creek Board of Trustees on the volunteer department’s status at the Aug. 20 meeting, reporting 22 members and recent receipt of new portable radios from Plattsmouth Fire Department.
Ahl told trustees the department still needs major equipment upgrades, including replacement air packs and turnout gear. He said the department meets monthly with neighboring volunteer departments to coordinate mutual aid and training. The minutes do not record a formal funding request or vote on procurement at this meeting.
Trustees discussed related capital planning elsewhere on the agenda, including a proposed addition to the fire barn; Trustee Peacock said responsibility for the fire-barn planning will transfer to Trustee Bruckner as Peacock prepares to move away from the village.
No formal appropriation was recorded in the minutes; the clerk’s certification closes the meeting record with follow-up tasks assigned to trustees and staff as noted.
