Pago ^ • Our maint<*nance is the .same - 3 heavy na int. i)crsonnel who work almost every Saturday. And each fire fighter has a turn once a month in their groups for maintenance. We had some take the liberty in painting the outside of station and putting a face lift to the front of the station. Hopefully we’ll get the back painted this Spring. For new equipment, that has changed too. We were talking and getting bids to refurbish our 1973 Mack (#12), that was put on hold because of lack of funds. Then for awhile we thought we would be getting more territory and the need for a better, newer, bigger tanker would have been a necessity and not as much refurbishing to #12. Now hopeful!f we can get a new pumper that would cost just a bit more instead of refurbishing *12 (hopefully we can trade in the Mack). I know the constant cut backs the City gets from State and Federal, wasn't ycur fault, but we must up grade our equipment to better serve our communities! Our building is old and again we are doing the best we can with people that will g;.ve us their time to fix, clean, repair, paint. It IS always the same ones who help and pretty soon they will get burned out or say, no one else cares, why should II My 2 Fire Marshals have full time jobs now, so they aren’t always available when needed for inspections, unles®; people can wait after hours and or on Saturdays.
