Commission approves July fire department expenses
Summary
The Berlin Police & Fire Commission approved the July 2026 fire department expenses after the Fire Chief reviewed purchases including replacement pagers, supplies for community events and a grant toward a thermal imaging camera.
Fire Chief (S6) walked the commission through the July expense sheet, noting line items including replacement pagers, supplies purchased for a family open house and replenishment of turnout gear. He also noted minor maintenance costs and that the department purchased two new pagers from Baycom to replace older units.
Members asked about grant offsets and unit costs; the chief said some items were more expensive than state DNR pricing and that purchases would be managed within budget. The commission moved to approve the July fire department expenses as presented by voice vote.
"We got another one [pager] and we got one spare for him though," Fire Chief (S6) said while describing recent pager purchases.
