Our air packs have been flow tested and one failed the test. We have 14 air packs in
<br /> operation now. We are not eligible for any grant being we have 14 masks. We will have
<br /> to wait for a while before we can finance new ones. We did not change the lockset on our
<br /> office door because other city employees use that door for entry. There are several ways
<br /> to get in to the fire office and garage now by using your key, a key lock box, or a number
<br /> code key pad.
<br /> The Officers decided to use the $10,000 Narveson donation to purchase a new rescue tool
