Fire Rescue Vehicle Purchase — Navarre <br />Assistant Long Lake Fire Chief Tony Roe and firefighter DJ Goman gave an overview of features <br />for the proposed Fire Rescue Vehicle purchase. Primarily for medical and light rescue, the <br />proposed rescue vehicle would provide quicker response and fire support in Navarre. <br />Sansevere questioned the impact eliminating the light tower and bottle fill station from the truck <br />might have on the fire fighters ability to perform their tasks. Although he recognized the <br />department could get by without these items, he asked whether they were necessary tools which <br />would make the fire fighters job easier. <br />While it would depend on the call, Goman stated that Mutual aid is often called upon for their <br />bottle fill station. He noted that, given the choice, he would prefer a light tower. Goman stated that <br />the existing `jaws of life', used for extrication, will be recycled and installed on the new rescue <br />vehicle, in an attempt to lower costs. <br />Based on the lengthy research process, Murphy stated that he would support the purchase of the <br />rescue vehicle as proposed and complimented the fire fighters for their cooperation in making this <br />happen for Navarre. He recognized the Long Lake Fire Department and Long Lake City Council <br />members Tony Cleveland and Randy Gilbert, present this evening, for their support of this 20 year <br />cooperative project. <br />PAGE 1 of 13 <br />
