Kress City Council · January 20, 2026

Summary

A fire department presenter reported August activity (two meetings, one medical, one motor‑vehicle accident, one fire) and summarized cumulative activity since February 2024 (17 medicals, 17 fires, 12 MVAs). Presenter said fuel cost was $321.30 and that pump repairs and a backup unit are in progress.

A fire department presenter provided a month‑end report for August: two meetings, one medical call, one motor vehicle accident and one fire. The presenter listed fuel costs of $321.30 (off‑road diesel) and said the department has been working on pump rebuilds and ordering backup equipment.

"As of February 2024, we've had 17 medicals, 12 meetings, 17 fire, 12 motor vehicle accidents, and 3 other," the presenter said, adding the 'other' calls included a controlled burn and a search-and-rescue for two children. The presenter noted a Humvee the department painted and plans to add lights once overheating issues are resolved.

Members thanked the presenter and discussed that available repair funds should allow the department to begin engine repairs; the presenter said one pump has been rebuilt and another is on order as a backup.
