Fire department requests recertification for six SCBAs and schedules truck diagnostics
Summary
The fire department asked the council to approve recertification of six SCBAs at an estimated $400'$500 each and to allow a diagnostic scan of a truck that is showing trouble codes; council asked for cost estimates and prioritized life-safety gear.
The Fire Department representative told the council they "don't have a lot to report" but noted a grant report to the state fire marshal was submitted and that one truck is running poorly and needs a diagnostic scan. The representative requested recertification for six SCBAs at roughly $400'$500 apiece to keep the equipment compliant; members agreed to check available funds and prioritize life-safety purchases.
Council asked the fire representative to run the truck and obtain a scan and cost estimates (JR was named as the person who can assemble numbers). The fire representative said they would run the truck and return estimates so council could decide whether to prioritize the SCBA recertification, truck repair, or other equipment (e.g., furnace). "I'm only asking for 6," the fire representative said, identifying the immediate recertification need.
