FROM:            COUNCILMEMBER SHADLE

 

DATE:             APRIL 3, 2007

 

SUBJECT:       PURCHASE OF FIRE PROBE FOR THE HOMER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

 

We are rapidly approaching the fire season for burning and slash piles. It has recently come to my attention that heat probes are a useful fire prevention tool.

 

Currently the Homer Volunteer Fire Department and State Forestry Division do not have the heat probes.  This raises concern for public safety.

 

Heat probes can be purchased for $280.28 each.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

The Homer Volunteer Fire Department is to purchase a heat probe in the amount of $280.28.

 

 

Fiscal Note: Account #100.151.5231 - $300.00 (to include shipping cost).
