Fire, police reports: PACF grant awarded for fan, mock-accident training and new police vehicle ordered
Summary
The fire department reported a PACF grant award of $5,900 (covers one battery PPV fan), participation in a multi-agency mock-accident drill, and the police department ordered a 2025 Ford Police Interceptor and an Axon in-car camera; the township’s SCBA grant application was not awarded.
The Altamont fire report at the April 10 meeting listed recent incident activity (two medical calls, three structure fires, one motor vehicle accident) and noted a public-relations event with home‑schooled students. The minutes state the City received a PACF grant award for $5,900 intended to purchase two battery-powered positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) fans but the award covered only one fan.
Fire and police personnel participated in a multi-agency mock-accident drill on April 9, which staff described as useful training and public outreach. Separately, the city ordered a 2025 Ford Police Interceptor from Superior Emergency Response Vehicles and an Axon in-car camera for the new vehicle. The minutes note the township’s grant application for SCBAs was not awarded and that fireworks costs for next year were estimated to rise to about $16,000–$17,000.
