COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater City Council passed a resolution on Monday night which approved a quote of just under $30,000 for the purchase of self-contained breathing apparatus washing equipment that would be used by the Coldwater Fire Department.
The winning quote from Myers Supply was one of two submitted.
Fire Chief Dave Schmaltz said the washing equipment would help get rid of cancer causing carcinogens from their SCBA gear.
Schmaltz said the SCBA gear will get a deep down cleaning from the equipment that is being bought.
Schmaltz expects the equipment will last for at least 15 years.
The purchase was planned for the 2023-24 fiscal year budget but anticipated manufacturer price increases prompted the City to seek approval for the purchase in this Fiscal Year.
