PEQUOT LAKES FIRE DEPARTMENT MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 2006 MEETING The meeting of the PLFD was called to order by Chief Nelson, 24 members were present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved by a motion by Rickard, second by Peterson H, motion passed. The minutes were corrected to state the house burn was at Mission, not at Nisswa. Truck checks were discussed. The Peterbuilt checked OK. Gasoline in cans was changed to fresh gas The air tanks on the Pete should not have to be bled, because the truck has an air dryer. We could use a set of wrenches on the back of the Pete by the 6 " intake. Also the back-up alarm should be repaired. Engine 2 was missing a 5" by 4" storz adapter. It could also use a grease job. Tanker 3 is all Ok, but it has a back-up light bulb out. Engine 4 (the van) is missing 2 flash lights. One has a bulb burned out, and we should order another new one to replace the missing one. The 20 ton jack was missing, but was found. Chris labeled all the orange flash lights tonight, so we should be aware of where they should be. Truck 5 (the old grass truck)needs the alternator belt tightened. Tanker 6 is missing an 1 '/2" nozzle, a 4"storz to 4 '/2" 45 degree hydrant elbow, and a marker light on the rear bumper is burned out. Water tender 7 has an extra set of wheel chocks, is missing a 2 '/2" male to female adapter, and the solenoid cable needs to be replaced. It is taped for now. The 1975 Breezy pump is missing a 1 1/2" nozzle and a 2 '/2" cap. Grass truck#9 is missing a lantern, a passport card, and 2 pair of safety glasses.

Dave S. has two boys graduating. Dave Schlick wants to use the Breezy station for a legislative meeting this coming Saturday from 9:30 to 11:30. The main purpose of this meeting is to try to assure the state fire marshal's budget is not cut any more. The budget should be increased to help education across the state. We are still working on costs and what we want to do for fitness tests for fire fighters. What we have now is the availability of a minor physical and a mask fitness for a fee of $65.00. There are no safety issues for now. The new pagers are all here and all the old ones are repaired.
