#3-FIRE CHIEF UPDATE
Rick reported that he has been working on the Eagle Valley fire engine. The brake system is leaking. Rick has contacted people in the Lake Valley area, and he’s close to getting cooperation from them to establish a crew to be first responders to incidents in that area, including fires and vehicle accidents. Training will be required and Rick intends to provide it. A vehicle will be warehoused in the area. Another issue is the mutual aid agreement with the other departments in the county. The current agreement includes fuel reimbursement. In the fire chief’s meeting there has been discussion about changing the agreement to include reimbursement on an hourly basis. Rick was given the BLM mutual aid agreement for the coming year; it is mostly the same as last year’s agreement. Mileage reimbursement may be a consideration in the future. Rick has received a request to join the NFPA. This is a resource for literature and you can get equipment discounts with the membership. There is a great deal of literature for communities that can be purchased through this group. Rick, Tommy, and Larry Stever went to Ely last Thursday to pick up equipment LCFD received from Ely BLM through a grant. The truck will be expensive to equip, but it runs well and Rick believes it will be very useful.
