Garden City Fire Dept. June 16th

 

Reporter Randall Knight

 The meeting started on time at 6:32 PM and all board members were present.  CPA Tiffany Wahlberg and Chief Mike Wahlberg were also in attendance.  Nobody else was present. 

The county Road & Bridge Supervisor stated that the new fire department lot needs a 4ft by 30ft culvert in order to get an encroachment permit.  The culvert was purchased from Thomas Rock and will be installed by Dirt Heads. The property deed has not yet been recorded because the survey was incorrect.

The fire department will be on hand for any emergencies at the July 4^th and 24^th events.  The district will also provide the community BBQ on the 24^th as in previous years. Raspberry Days will also have fireworks and the district will be on hand for emergencies.

The fire boat was put in the water at the marina later than anticipated due to some wiring and mechanical issues. 

No burn permits can be issued from June 15 to mid-October by order of the state fire marshal.  This does not apply to fires in approved fire pits. The fire chief provides burn permits within Garden City limits and Travis Hobbs provides them for the county.  Personal fire pits must be inspected prior to use.

Responses: 1 propane leak, 4 CO calls, 5 fire alarms, 9 fire pit inspections, 5 business inspections, 12 short-term rental inspections, 11 burn permits, 1 fire callout, 30 medical assists, 1 agency assist
