The price of the truck was $10,000 and the Ed Arndt family donated that amount of money so the truck is totally paid for. They have a new young firefighter. The medical portion of the department is doing great as well. There have been some bad call out for the medical staff this winter but no fires. The fire build is in need of some renovations. They are putting out bids at this time. The assistant fire chief is on medical leave, Rusty Lehto. Many thanks go out to Larry as fire chief. The first responders got a new ambulance also. The International Falls Department was getting a new rig and this department was able to purchase the old one for $12,000. Many supplies came with this rig also.
No comments from the floor.
