Commission approves $1.34 million fire engine purchase and financing for Rose Hill Fire District #3
Summary
The board approved Fire District #3’s purchase of a Sutphen fire engine and equipment for $1,342,542.10, with a $172,170.08 down payment and proposed financing of $1,170,372.02; Chief Kevin Webster said the district expects delivery by year‑end.
Fire District #3 Chief Kevin Webster and County Administrator Will Johnson asked the board to approve purchase of a fire engine and equipment from Sutphen Corporation for $1,342,542.10. The district will make a $172,170.08 down payment from reserves and intends to finance the remaining $1,170,372.02, using HGAC Buy unless county finance secures a better rate; the board approved the purchase and financing.
Chief Webster told commissioners the district expects to receive the fire engine by the end of the year. The purchase advances the district’s replacement plan to avoid higher future costs and production delays that would result from initiating a new custom-build today.
