The Selectboard approved a motion to allow the Fire Department to purchase new gear for volunteer firefighters immediately, authorizing payment from the Equipment Reserve Fund; the vote was 5-0.

Fire Chief Richard Fisher told the Selectboard that new gear was needed for volunteer firefighters and asked whether the department could place the order now rather than waiting until the new fiscal year in July. George Morehouse moved to permit the purchase and to pay from the Equipment Reserve Fund; Denis LaMadeleine seconded and the motion passed 5-0.

The minutes record no dollar amount for the gear purchase. The board's action authorized immediate procurement funded from the Equipment Reserve Fund and did not specify a delivery or payment schedule in the meeting record.
