The Safety corner topic was the call we had to dispose of a hazardous material made from mixing weed killer, bleach, and ammonia. We dumped the stuff in the grass and flushed it with 500 gallons of water. The gas monitor was repaired. It had a bad oxygen sensor.It works good now. We do not need to use the wand for taking in air. There is no report for the Mac tanker and it is not done yet. The truck is still at Dabills. Our underground water storage tanks #I and #3 are full of water. The other tanks were not checked. We should do a training with the tender and these underground tanks. The 1975 pump gas tank has not been repaired yet. The Relief Association financial report is all done. Kirk has the numbers together and is ready for a meeting.
