The Phippsburg Select Board approved a motion allowing the fire department to spend up to $5,500 to acquire a used set of hydraulic extrication tools. Fire Chief Andy (S5) and department personnel explained the set would be placed on Engine 3 and noted that a comparable new set could cost roughly $75,000.
A fire department member (S7) said, "We got a, Ben found a set of, extrication tools for price of $5,500... if we were to buy a new set now, we're talking around probably $75,000 for a set of those." Committee member (S1) moved the authorization and the board voted in favor. The minutes record the motion and the approval without a roll-call tally in the transcript.
