Tamworth Fire/Rescue reviews siren, radio installs and repeater arrangements
Summary
At its June 4 meeting the Board of Firewards was told Engine 1’s siren is out and a replacement has been ordered, Car 1 radios have been updated, and a potential cabinet installation by Ossipee Fire Department may house the town’s Great Hill repeater equipment.
At the June 4 meeting, members of the Tamworth Board of Firewards reviewed several operational and equipment items affecting daily response capability.
Multiple members reported that Engine 1’s siren is not functioning; Capt. D. Costello said a new siren has been ordered. Costello also reported that updated Car 1 radios have already been installed.
The board discussed the Great Hill repeater. Capt. Z. Remick reported that remaining parts and repairs for the repeater might not be necessary because the Ossipee Fire Department plans to relocate its repeater under an existing memorandum of agreement and has offered to install a shared cabinet to house both agencies’ equipment.
Chairman Jim Bowles said he will continue to refine the cost estimate for the Wonalancet Station replacement in the Capital Improvements Plan as he hears back from contractors. He also noted the chief will obtain insulation and materials to repair the ceiling above the rescue office.
Members were reminded of upcoming radio procedure training next Thursday to review Ossipee Valley Mutual Aid procedures, and Capt. Z. Remick said the department’s radio grant application is being submitted this week.
