7. FIRE CHIEFS REPORT
Chief Lee Finlayson reported that he is waiting for the next steps on the vehicle purchase. He
said that Bayside has been waiting so long for the grant for the turnout gear that they are going to
move forward as if they did not receive it. At this point he believes that there will be no
movement on the grant. Bayside has three quotes for turnout gear but they are void because the
NFPA has updated their standards for turnout gear.
