I contribute that the the great work that each of you do. The capital equipment reserve account was established and we've been authorized to replace both cardiac monitors. I'll be providing the Fire Commission with an RFP for approval then we'll post it. We've had Zoll here for a demo, and Lifepak will be here this week to demo the LP15. We'll hold more demos in the coming weeks.
And by-the-way, we almost didn't have a Town meeting in Lyman. It was nearly cancelled for lack of meeting a quorum.
Fairwell Nate Keller, Best of luck in Bath! Don't forget to come back and visit every now and then.
Engine 83 is at Minuteman. A picture of it is on the website. We've been asked to allow it to be showed at the New England Fire Chiefs' Conference on June 26/27 in Springfield, Mass. This is one of the largest fire apparatus shows in the country. The truck will arrive at our station by 0900 on Monday, June 29th. The dedication ceremony will be at 1830 on Tuesday, June 30th. Next we've got to schedule operator training, load hose and equipment, get it ready for service.
