Ladder truck put into service; Station 131 generator online; board approves scrapping of old pumper
Summary
The board heard that a used ladder truck is in service and training is scheduled; the generator at Station 131 is installed and operational; and the board voted to dispose of a 2012 Pierce Sabre pumper as scrap after costly structural and pump failures.
Board members were briefed on several equipment and facility items. A used ladder truck recently entered service and training for personnel is scheduled in April and May. "The new used ladder truck is in service and fully operational and already been on some runs," a member said.
Members also heard that the Station 131 generator has been installed and is operational. On apparatus disposal, staff reported that a 2012 Pierce Sabre backup pumper developed frame damage and the pump later failed; because repairs would be very expensive, staff recommended selling it as scrap. The board voted to dispose of the engine as scrap to remove it from service.
