He requested that $3,000 be budgeted and suggested the County purchase purch-ase a 6 x 6 built-up fire suppression truck complete with pump, etc., at a cost of about $4,000. He also said some repair work is needed to e the Thompson fire truck; and that a stand-by for the district fire warden is also needed. Following discussion, it was decided to increase the budget in that area from $2,000 to $2,500, earmarking $500 for fire suppression. It was noted that if more than this sum is spent for fire suppression, the State will pay 50 per cent of the excess. |
