Why This Vote Matters
The city council unanimously approved spending $77,925 on a custom 32-foot fire safety educational trailer. The specialized trailer will allow fire department staff to bring hands-on safety training directly to schools and community events throughout the city. Only one company manufactures these educational trailers, which is why the city didn't put the purchase out for competitive bidding. This purchase will give residents more opportunities to learn fire safety skills in their own neighborhoods rather than having to visit the fire station.
