OLD BUSINESS
Status of remaining items being purchased:
RIT Pack—It's in-service but we are still working on getting the proper 25-foot hose attachment, it came
with a shorter hose due to a mix up with the Finance dept.
Thermal Imaging Camera—Capt. Stecki spoke to the board and stated he had the understanding that a
committee off FFIB members on his shift would check out the cameras and report back to the board. Captain
Stecki felt all members should have had the chance to view and test the cameras from the vendors when they
visited, and several cameras were left on station 7 apparatus to be observed further in real situations.
Chairman Hall stated he didn't believe that was the agreement and if so still wanted to see the cameras
himself along with other board members who had not seen the cameras including Chief Goostree. Hall
request he have the ISG camera that Capt. Stecki stated was the favorite by most department members be
brought to the next meeting or be available for viewing before the next meeting
Map Cases- Case install at the Fire Administration building, the Maps and Plexi-Glass will be inserted
shortly. Go ahead given to build remaining 4 cases for the Fire stations.
