- Emergency Services Report – Darren Auld No training at the moment because of Covid restrictions. The Jaws of Life is received; training needed on using it. Still not getting medical calls at this time. And 1st round of COVID vaccinations were completed. Bunker Gear (full turnout gear) is slated for purchase in 21-22 budget. This year, we are purchasing boots and helmets. Goal is to become more self-sufficient and less dependent on the OFM; doing so in small steps. OFM gear is baseline and uncomfortable – ill fitting, and times have changed – Lappe Fire is known for being a progressive fire department and we would like to keep up-to-date with equipment. There was a lengthy discussion with the Board and many questions asked; a conclusion was made as long as there is consistency with the gear, the Board is OK with purchase. As for fitting new members; this will only be done after said member has proved their dedication to the department. Approx cost is $1,000/volunteer to be outfitted. Motion 05/03/21: Motion to accept: Ryan Lotas, seconded by Chris Hansen. Adopted.
