Red Wing City Council (MN) Approves Fire Apparatus Purchase

After much discussion, Red Wing City Council approved purchasing a fire truck next spring.Engine 3 is 32 years old and 12 years beyond its replacement age. The funding would be pulled from the city's 2018 budget with delivery in April 2018. Council members on Monday approved $587,022 for the purchase.

By signing the contract agreement early, the city will receive a discount of $6,800. The city has not yet approved a 2018 budget.

Norwalk (OH) Council Approves $43K Toward Used Fire Apparatus

Council unanimously passed a resolution that authorized Norwalk Finance Director Michelle Reeder to earmark the $50,000 in the general capital improvement for the two projects; $43,000 will go toward a used fire truck and $7,000 to repave the parking lot.

Sitting in the lot now is one of two vehicles that Chief John Soisson placed out of service Friday morning, a 1994 Freightliner pumper/tanker. Also out of commission is the department’s 1985 Gruman pumper. The two vehicles failed to pass a liability-related safety inspection by a trooper with the state Highway Patrol that was done at Soisson’s request.
