Summary

President Dave Hornbacher told the council the Hillman EMS and Fire had seven fire runs last month, EMS logged 63 runs, the association bought two extraction tools costing about $32,000, and a tanker purchase awaits title transfer; the roster is being reviewed and the Canada Creek mutual‑aid agreement is up for renewal.

President Dave Hornbacher reported to the council that Hillman EMS and Fire recorded seven fire runs last month and EMS reported 63 runs for the month. He said the department is waiting for title paperwork before purchasing a tanker from the Hubbard Lake Fire Department.

Hornbacher said the Fire Association purchased two new extraction tools at a cost of about $32,000. He added that Unit 316 needs a new head gasket and Unit 313 had a check‑engine light that has since been repaired. The department’s run roster is under review and the council is removing any person who has not taken a run within the past year. Hornbacher also noted the Canada Creek mutual‑aid agreement is up for renewal.

Why it matters: equipment purchases and mutual‑aid agreements affect emergency response capacity; roster changes may alter who is available for calls.

Next steps: the council will monitor tanker title paperwork and review the mutual‑aid agreement as it comes up for renewal.
