Henderson fire department to replace pump on brush truck; older extrication gear donated to county
Summary
The board approved a $5,574 motor and pump replacement for the fire department's brush truck skid unit and authorized donating older extrication equipment to the county fire department if the county will accept it.
Deputy Fire Chief Chase Moore told the board the brush truck skid unit was aging and recommended replacing the motor and pump. The low repair quote of $5,574.00 came from American Emergency Response Training (AERT); the board approved that expenditure on a motion by Ald. Mark A. Barber, seconded by Ald. Donna R. Butler.
Separately, Deputy Chief Moore said the department has older extrication equipment the city no longer needs and asked whether to donate it to the county fire department or sell it via GovDeals. Ald. Barber moved and Ald. Maness seconded a motion to donate the equipment to the county; the motion carried.
