Volunteer fire department reports ambulance repair; county equipment-rotation would provide $100,000 every 11 years

S. Petersen, reporting for the Beaver Crossing Volunteer Fire Department, said the ambulance's air conditioning has been repaired and that the department borrowed an extra ambulance from Utica while the unit was being serviced. Petersen said Seward County operates a rotation for equipment funding that would allocate about $100,000 to Beaver Crossing every 11 years toward new apparatus.

Petersen and trustees discussed that a new pumper truck would cost roughly $550,000 and is approximately 18 months from delivery under current estimates. Trustee Brandon Mares said he will meet with Ayers & Ayers to go over building addition plans related to department needs.
