COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A 56-page report has been put together for the City of Coldwater as well as Coldwater and Girard Townships by Emergency Vehicle Response Fire Protection Services which evaluates the city’s fire apparatus.
It also proposes a replacement schedule and City Manager Jeff Budd told the City Council on Monday night there some concerns about three pieces of equipment that go back over two decades.
One of the biggest needs is a new ladder truck. The consultants are recommending that this truck, a grass rig and Engine 3 be replaced.
Mayor Tom Kramer wants Council members to do their homework and read thew report.
Budd said the two pieces of equipment that need to be replaced will be done so over a three fiscal year period. He felt this would be the time to do it since interest rates are low.
Budd is expected to bring a recommendation on pricing back to the Council in the near future.
