Fire chief says new air packs are in service; proposed donation of old grant‑funded packs to neighboring departments
Summary
Fire Chief Rich Evans reported new air packs are active and noted the old, grant‑purchased packs cannot be sold and could be donated to nearby departments. He also reported the station's garage door repairs are finished and that the department has 21 members.
Fire Chief Rich Evans told the board the department's "new air packs are in service and working good" and that grant conditions prevent the sale of the old equipment; he said some neighboring departments, including Murrayville‑Woodson and Easton, have expressed interest in receiving donated packs. Chief Evans also reported that recent garage door repairs are complete and that the department currently lists 21 members, with one application and three other inquiries.
The chief framed the donation option as a way to reuse grant‑funded equipment consistent with funding restrictions. No formal action was taken during the meeting; trustees heard the update and did not vote on equipment disposition at this session.
