Letter to Eagle – do have some Firefighters interested, haven’t had any community interest yet. Need to make this the discussion at our next workshop, as how we are going to proceed from this point.

Engine 152 had to go Hallmark, pump impellor broke, so Jimmy and I took the truck up there this morning and it should be done next week. It will be about $7,500. It is 10 years old and runs medical and fire calls so it has one of the highest usage. The reason Jimmy can’t do the work is that we don’t have the set up for those heavy pumps.
