Milford To Get New Gear For Firemen
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
MILFORD - The Milford Fire Department will replace its outdated self-contained breathing apparatus.
During the special budget meeting Monday, the town council approved the fire department's 1999 budget.
The budget included the replacement of the outdated equipment, but Ned Hunsberger, Milford fire chief, said he would like to have the council and township approve the replacement for this year, because of a $250 "trade-in" that will not be available next year.
The cost for each of the SCBA devices will be $1,600 without the $250 trade-in allowance. Hunsberger and Dallas Winchester, township trustee, will work on the possibility of getting the replacement done, at least in part, this year.
Winchester also spoke up for his employees during the budget meeting. He said the additional security employees for the beach were being paid approximately $3 an hour more than some of his employees who had been working for him for five to six years.
The council tabled the request until they could discuss it with their attorney.
Douglas Ruch, Milford town council member, announced that Lou Mediano was officially acting as town marshal in place of David Hobbs, who remains in fair condition at Parkview Memorial Hospital in Fort Wayne. [[In-content Ad]]
