It looks like things are improving in the fire district. Several board members are going through a learning process being new to the board but are working hard for the district.
The former chief left chief Bonnee a lot of problems. Thousands of dollars of district bills went unpaid, and equipment was neglected. Chief Bonnee is getting these problems fixed, but sadly it looks like repairs to the equipment are going to be costly.
An example is the chief's truck. Former chief Winn had never serviced the chiefs truck in over 50,000 miles. When checked there was a little over a quart of oil in the engine. Maintenance is important to keep the districts equipment in top condition to respond to emergencies.
The chief recognized the hard work the four current volunteers with dinner and a gift card from DSCC.
We have smart people with various skills, and the district needs to take advantage of those skills. Station 41 in Dolan Springs needs some doors added for safety and privacy. Volunteer John Lilly has experience in home improvement and offered to install the doors.
We'll see how the volunteer program goes. There are so many people with skills the district could use. I hope the chief starts using the wealth of knowledge and skills local residents have.
I apologize I had to leave the meeting early for a Zoom meeting.
