after the last fire some of the men brought up the subject of buying another fire truck and asked
Mr Dare & Roggatz to attend the next Council meeting and see if the Village was in a position to
purchase another fire truck. Mr. Dare stated that a truck suitable for a second rig would cost
approximately $1350.00 After some discussion it was decided to table the matter until the Village
was financially better able to take care of this

Dept could take the new fire truck and make calls outside of the Village and still be within the
insurance laws and also find out if the Firemen would be protected with compensation the same as
they are in the Village.
