Elko County Fire Board approves $30,000 purchase of used Type 3 brush truck
Summary
The board approved buying a 1996 Type 3 brush truck from North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District for $30,000 from the FY2025 capital equipment budget to supplement rural relief apparatus.
The Elko County Board of Fire Commissioners voted to approve the purchase of a 1996 Type 3 brush truck from the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District for $30,000, to be funded from the fire district’s FY2025 capital equipment budget.
Chief Matt Peterson described the unit as having low miles, new tires and low hours and said it would supplement rural apparatus and serve as a relief truck. A commissioner raised concerns during public comment that age‑ or mileage‑based replacement standards can push taxpayers into higher‑cost replacements; the board nevertheless approved the purchase by voice vote.
