DNRC tender up for sale; commissioners to explore local buyback or district purchase
Summary
A DNRC tender truck (about 800‑gallon) parked near private property was offered for sale (quoted $2,000–$3,000). Commissioners asked staff to investigate whether the Peerless Fire District or the community would buy the unit to retain local firefighting capacity.
County fire and emergency staff reported a surplus DNRC tender (90F800, ~800‑gallon) that the state plans to sell. The unit is serviceable and the state’s representative estimated a sale price of $2,000–$3,000. Commissioners discussed options: county purchase, fire district purchase, or community fundraising to keep the asset available locally for fire response.
Staff will check options, whether the Peerless Fire District will fund purchase, and the timeline for state inspections in mid‑May; commissioners said they prefer an arrangement that keeps assets in the service area rather than letting them be sold out of the region.
