Lismore Fire Department reports $4,850 Relief donation, seeks grant to buy battery-operated Jaws of Life
Summary
The Lismore Fire Department reported a $4,850 donation from the 'Ribs and Rims' fundraiser and said the department is testing battery-operated equipment and is seeking grant funding from Nobles2 Wind Farm for a battery-operated Jaws of Life.
Jim, speaking for the Fire Department, told the City Council on Aug. 12 that the recent 'Ribs and Rims' fundraiser yielded a $4,850 check to the Fire Relief and that the department is trialing battery-operated rescue equipment. He said the first purchase priority is a battery-operated Jaws of Life to modernize extrication capability.
Amber Bertrand, city clerk, said she submitted an application to Nobles2 Wind Farm seeking grant funding to help purchase the tool. The council approved the Fire Department report.
The department also plans a fundraiser this coming weekend; no additional purchases were authorized at the meeting beyond the grant application step.
