We continue to maintain and improve
our equipment and were able to make some purchases of some needed
equipment.
The first of these is an
updated AED to be used on patients in cardiac arrest. As you will see we had some success with
our
grant writing this year. We received
funds from Freeborn Mower Cooperative Services for
one new set of turnout gear. This
continues to be part of our long-term goal of a scheduled replacement of three
sets of turnout gear per year to replace the gear purchased in 2003.
We were also awarded a grant from the MN
Department of Natural Resources for the purchase of water handling and grass
fire equipment. This equipment will be
added to our inventory and will replace some older equipment. We also were awarded
a skid steer loader from
the DNR to be used for snow removal, wildland firefighting and many other
functions.
There was numerous other
grant applications submitted that were not funded such as the 2015 FEMA Grant
for new Jaws of Life. Recognizing the
importance of these tools we opted to dedicate funds from our reserves to
purchase the new “Jaws System”.
Additionally, we have made some purchases
and repairs from our general
fund to maintain our equipment and building.
