Garden City Fire District

 

Garden City Fire District Meeting May 20, 2024

Submitted by Randall Knight

 

The meeting started on time at 6:30pm with all board members present.  There were no public members present.

 

Last month’s minutes were approved and the Treasurer reported an audit has not been done yet but hopefully will be done next month. 

The board agreed to abide by an ethical behavior statement that will be added to the policy manual.  The board agreed to not apply for any TRT grant funds this year.

 

The lot for the satellite station has been rezoned and split from the acreage so hopefully the purchase will be completed in the near future.

 

The Chief reported the boat will be in the lake by Memorial Day weekend.  The fire engine needs some minor repairs to the air brakes allowing it to be useable.  Some additional training will be done with Bear Lake county.

.

Randall mentioned he had heard reports of PFAS contaminating PPE and causing health problems for firefighters. The Chief is going to look into the possible issue for their PPE and report back.

 

The Calls for the last 30 days were 2 propane leaks, 3 fire alarms, 1 truck fire, 11 medicals, 7 Short-Term rental inspections, 3 business inspections, 9 burn permits, 1 fire pit permit.
