Farmingdale seeks permanent trailer‑mounted pump as firehouse maintenance continues
Summary
The Board reviewed a resolution to buy a trailer‑mounted pump and related flooding equipment while staff continue searching for the correct model and are renting a pump temporarily; Fire Department maintenance items and apparatus‑floor prep were also reported.
Village officials told the Board they are pursuing purchase of a trailer‑mounted pump and related equipment for flood response; staff reported an ongoing search for the correct pump and said a temporary pump has been rented until a permanent replacement is found.
The Fire Department update included short‑term building and equipment maintenance: a shelf for the soda system will be installed the week of Sept. 3, the rear door will be painted, and the front door will be sanded, stained and sealed. The department also reported prep work for a new apparatus‑room floor, including installation of diamond plate and removal of Scott pack equipment.
The Board did not take a formal vote on the purchase at the work session; staff indicated a resolution would be prepared as the search for the correct pump continues.
