City Manager Fred Garbett told the council that he had talked to several people on Eagle Street about the problem and they are willing to move the vehicles to allow for proper snow removal. He also talked to some residents on Clark Street. The City is willing to help move vehicles that are inoperable. Larry Ezell inquired if it would be possible to put in a Stop sign or another Yield sign on Iron & O'Connor Street, because during the winter, it is hard for someone coming down Eagle Street to yield.

"that could actually make it to a fire". Department members, Ralph Hughes, Adren Underwood, and Brian Underwood, said that the tanker they are now using, came from the county, but is really "junk." They told the commission that a large number of people have moved to the communities of Eureka and Mammoth in the past few years., "for whatever reason".. perhaps trying to escape from the urban areas to more isolated and quiet areas. "People are after property," they said, and want to make their homes in West Juab County once again. Hughes said that the homes in Mammoth are wood and burn quickly. The 700 gallon tanker lacks the power it needs to go up hills, doesn't have brakes, is slow and unreliable. He said the tanker is an old piece which might be exchanged with the forest service for a new one. The county might also get a truck from state surplus, said Adren Underwood. Sometimes U.S. Army surplus was also available. However, said Commissioner Joseph Bernini, the county has been unable to obtain any equipment from Dugway. "We couldn't make a deal with them," he said. The department has fire trucks built in 1927, 1936, and 1932, Bernini said. At a recent fire in a shed located near a home in Mammoth, said the men, the department saved the house but was unable to save the shed. Bernini said the county is on the list to be notified of state surplus equipment. They had been to the state surplus a lot, he said, and had been unable to find a tanker. "We never did see any tankers," he said. County commissioners agreed to try to find a suitable tanker for the department. The three men said they would like a larger tanker than 700 gallons. "Where would you keep it?" asked Randy Freston, county It engineer and administrator. would need to be housed inside a garage, said Freston and the current facility might not be large enough. The facility has small doors and stores the other equipment. According to Adren Underwood, a 2,000 gallon 6x6 tanker would fit in the present facility. "The old hose truck could come out," said Underwood. The old tanker could fit in beside the new one in case more water was needed and could go as a backup. Water has to be hauled to most of the fires, said Underwood. The men were asked to measure the facility space where the tanker is located, and Freston will begin looking for a tanker. |
