_ Old Fire Truck
‘Is Sold for $380

Year-end report of the fire and
light committees of the Village of
Castlegar as presented at council's
last meeting by retiring Comm.

As the fire chief gives a very
detailed report for the fire de-
partment ‘I will report on general
items I think would be of interest
to old and new commissioners,

The department has continu-
ed its efforts to bring the equip-
ment up to ia high standard
and stay: within its budget.

‘Two pleces of costly but.very
necessary equipment were purchas-
ed this year. Two Scott Air’ Pak|®
breathing apparatus and two spare | ¢
tanks were purchased, It was found
there was a substantial tax reduc-
tion by purchasing two, of these
units as they were then termed a
rescue unit,

As some of the men: had un-

fortunate experiences with the old | 282

Chemox masks’ during practises
they were very happy to zee these |
new units arrive.

The second large piece . of
equipment, a smoke ejector fan
used to remove smoke and fumes
from buildings, hes been ‘sorely
missed at many fires in the past.

It appears that we have final-
ly caught up with the Workmen's
Compensation Board’s requ
ments in other ‘small’ but unbe-

ltevably expensive items such as up

first-aid. / kits, steel. core rescue
ropes, oxygen therapy kits and va-
rious other items that a few years
back a fire department ‘could get
by on “make do”. substitutes, Re-
quirements are getting stiffer and
eosts rising accordingly.

During the year we were for-
tunate ‘in disposing of our oldest
fire truck to the district of Casino
for $380. In this matter I’ wish to
give full credit to the alertness. of
captain ‘Joe Schnell and chief Le-
wis. Captain Schnell told the Casi-
no representative that we had a
suitable truck’ for their operation
and the fire chief did the nego-
tlating ‘resulting in what wo. all
felt’ was a very good mee
