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

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.”

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.”
