Fire Chief Matt Shields said the improvements are necessary to maintain the d is t r ic t ’ s fire fig h tin g capabilities and to keep abreast of federal regulations. Replacement of the 1958 tanker, at a cost of $35,000, is the most expensive item in the levy request. “This unit is a used 1958 white F re ig h tlin e r with a deteriorating 4,000 gallon tank,” Shields said. “ Basically, the unit is in sound condition. However, its age, difficulty in driving, poor brakes and deterioration of its tank justify replacement." Shields also said the tanker carries a m ajor respon sibility in water supply for the district and that a break down would hamstring the district. “ Delay in replacing the unit may put us in the position of losing the unit on an alarm and being without a major piece of equipment during the time it takes for repairs or replacement,” he said. Purchase of the m in i Ready to fin ish - Nude Furniture! Complete with choice of hardware! Big Savings! a pumper for the Eagle Creek substation would cost $30,000 “ The m ini-pumper w ill prove to be quicker, more maneuverable and more dependable than the pumper now stationed at Eagle Creek, considering the terrain of the Eagle Creek response area “ It will prove to be more functional for response to non-structural emergencies such as brush and grass fires, home first aids and highway accidents,” the chief said The tanker needs a higher horsepower engine. Shields said, because it is just too slow. “ It is not our intention to make the unit into a race horse. However, being able to maintain a reasonable, safe speed on mild hills is im perative (because) the unit provides the first sup port water on the majority of our fire attacks,” Shields said. The unit is an excellent one once it arrives at a blaze, the chief said, but the problem is the time it takes to get there. and the excellent condition and low mileage of the unit, repowering would appear to me a more logical approach rather than purchasing a replacement unit ” Change in the district’s breathing apparatus is necessitated by new federal laws which will be effective next year, Shields said, and the emergency generator at the Boring station is unreliable and needs replacing Estimated total co6t for the two improvements is $11,500. Purchase of the protective clothing would improve the safety for the d is tric t’s firefighters. Shields said. “ The protective clothing now furnished by the district is combustible. S im ilar clothing has resulted in serious injuries and death to firefighters over the years. “ Considering the time and efforts donated to the district by the volunteer personnel, the district should make every attempt to make their job as safe as possible.” Phyllis Mizner E stim ated cost of the protective clothing is $6,000. joins Sandy firm “ It has a designed top speed of 52 mph but can only reach that speed during a long downhill run. Flat road speeds vary from 35 to 40 mph. Any slight uphill grade rapidly and drastically reduces the unit’s speed.” Shields said cost of a new unit would be about $80,000 Costs for the proposed im provements is $22,000. “Considering the cost factors Shields said district voters have been supportive of fire proposals in the past. “ The main reason we are in the position we are today is that the board has foreseen future needs in time to ask the voters to consider those needs before the situation deteriorated to the point where we were in the emergency category.” Hoodland Chamber plans dinner The Hoodland Chamber of Commerce will meet at Timberline Lodge for its annual dinner meeting on Tuesday, April 18.
