Rescue reports call volume and ambulance mileage; fire chief updates on station repairs and new truck procurement
Summary
A rescue representative reported 13 calls and over 50,000 miles on the ambulance; the fire chief described ceiling damage at the station, ongoing pump/repair work, and progress toward finalizing documents with Rosenbauer for a new truck.
A rescue representative (identified in the meeting as the rescue contact) reported the service had answered 13 calls recently and that the ambulance had logged more than 50,000 miles, signaling a possible future vehicle-replacement consideration. The representative said DEA forms had been submitted and that staffing and duty-crew arrangements continue.
The fire chief updated the board on station maintenance after a section of ceiling over the ambulance bay fell; he requested that the public-works director visit the station to assess repairs. He also said the bid documents for a new truck had been returned by the vendor (Rosenbauer) after requested changes, and he expressed hope that final documentation would be ready by mid‑next week so procurement could proceed. The chief noted an internal plastic diffuser in a tanker needs repair; staff expect a warranty or repair solution and said the truck remains in service despite the issue.
