Winona Council Stalls Fire Truck Purchase
WINONA LAKE - Much to the chagrin of the Winona Lake Fire Department, a 15-year-old fire truck will remain in commission after a Tuesday decision by the town council to deny its replacement. Clerk Treasurer Retha Hicks, after researching the town's current financial status, said it would be difficult for the town to provide enough capital to pay for the new machine. "Currently, we have a bit of leeway financially, but we have to take into consideration that we will face increases in healthcare and gasoline costs," Hicks said."Right now I would not recommend this purchase." Hicks reported an increase of $30,000 in town healthcare expenses for next year, a discovery made last week that affected the decision to deny the truck purchase. Fire Chief Roger Gelbaugh said the department traditionally replaced fire trucks every 20 years, but the current truck is running adequately with no major impairments besides its age.
