Fire chief reports equipment repairs, inspections and plans for outsourced hose testing
Summary
Fire Chief Randy Flynn told the Select Board E4 has a drain leak with parts ordered, the ladder truck will have a bent rung replaced when its replacement arrives, all ground ladders passed annual inspection, air‑pack inspection is scheduled for May and the department will seek quotes for outsourced hose testing.
Fire Chief Randy Flynn updated the Select Board on April 21 about recent maintenance and inspection work. He reported year‑to‑date call statistics and said that E4 has a drain leak with the repair part ordered, E2 had no issues, and the ladder truck has a bent rung that will be replaced when the new ladder truck arrives. He added that all ground ladders passed their annual inspection and that the annual inspection of the air packs is scheduled for May.
Flynn said the department typically performs hose testing in‑house but is seeking quotes this year from vendors to reduce liability exposure. He told the board he hopes to present a tentative fee schedule for inspections by the next meeting. No motion or vote accompanied the update; it appeared as part of department head reports.
