Selectboard told town-paid policy does not cover antique fire trucks owned by association
Summary
Primex informed the town that vehicles not owned by the Town cannot be insured under the town policy; the town had been paying the premium but would not be covered, and the Fire Association is working to resolve ownership/coverage.
The Selectboard heard that antique fire trucks kept by the local Fire Association are not insurable under the town’s policy because the vehicles are not town-owned. Primex informed town officials that it cannot insure vehicles owned by an outside association; the minutes state the town was paying for the insurance but would not actually be covered.
The board noted the Fire Association has been made aware and is working to address the ownership and insurance arrangements. No vote or formal direction to change policy or funding was recorded at the Jan. 5 meeting.
Board discussion did not record an exact premium amount or a timetable for resolving ownership or coverage, and no follow-up motion was entered during the meeting.
