BOARD COMMENTS
AD- None
DC- Fire Service has changed thru the years, such a dynamic and changing field. Really
incumbent on us to have our people as well trained as possible and looking towards where we are
moving not where we are at.
JP- Thank you to the board for the approval for the travel. Crab fest float got grand prize, thank
you to volunteers. Fire prevention is not going to be a one month thing it's going to be an all year
thing. Thank you to chief for all he does. When we have info our boxes, we need to grab them in
a reasonable amount of time.

being proactive.
