FD/EMS
Report from Brad Benard- We had
three calls since last meeting. One was for a snowmobile accident up
by gooseneck lake where we used our side by side to transport medics
and the patient. The other was mutual aid for the Fishdam accident.
We used our brush truck to do traffic control and provided man power
to help on the scene itself. The third was a mutual aid for
Manistique fd for a fire on range street. We didn’t bring any
apparatus just man power. As per our last fire meeting that was
attended by Kelly and Sherry we are asking permission to build a
permanent building for an improved chicken cooking area. All
materials and labor would be donated or covered by us. We would just
like permission from the board to proceed. And finally, the increase
in the power bill was because we need to provide heat to our side by
side in the winter so it will be dependable and start when needed.
Also there has been a lot more activity there the past month with
lights being on and doors being opened and closed. So, I would
expect a higher bill. The heater was only used to offset the really
cold weather. It’s is off now. I am currently gathering quotes on
fixing the issues we discussed with the hall. I hope to have three
by my next report. Finally, I contacted Nate Berg to wire some
emergency lights for our trailer. This cost will be covered by us.
Just simply filling you all in on the goings on. Thank you to Kelly
and Sherry for attending our last meeting, I left there feeling very
confident that we are in a good position between our department and
the township. Looking forward to working together in the future to
provide our Township with a reliable and effective department.
Permission to place a permanent chicken
cooking area for annual Corn Roast on Inwood Township property.
