Also noted they are still getting occasional calls from the Golden Hills
Lodge, Robertson Manor, School, etc , due to problems with the automatic

Garnet Bauer from Torrington Fire Department reported his department had
a very quiet year - only 5 calls - 4 in M D and one in the Village
He presented the budget for his department
Lyle Regehr and Keith Goossen entered the meeting at this time,

Keith Goossen is deputy.
They have 22 members and established a constitution

their pagers were set off by wrong numbers
Have 18 members - and had no dollar fire loss either in the Village or the

some fire extinguishers for re -sale Gave a training course on how to use a
fire extinguisher at the Carbon Rodeo Attended CPR course and a first aid
course and som other training courses 5 went to Vo rmilion and 4 hope to
go this year Had a training practice at the Carbon School, which proved
handy two months later when there was a problem at the school and it had
to be excavated due to an over heated boiler
Everything is working well and the radio system works well but the range
is limited to about the area where the M D radio tower is located north
of the Village Coverage beyond that area to the north is not good
Mr Kessler from Acme reported their department
which is stored in the M D shop in Acme and the
be installed on this truck and the department is
reservoir tank to assist in fighting rural fires
M D , and none in town and two false alarms
zas access to a water truck
department has requested a dump valve
looking at obtaining a portable
There were 3 fires in the
There was discussion about the dump valves and use of the portable reservoir tanks
Mr Hoff noted that the M D has agreed that the annual honorarium payable by the M D to the
Three Hills Fire Department will be $1600 00 plus $25 00 per rural fire call
answered, (payment to be based on the previous year's calls) and $400 00 extra
for the fire chief, and this same arrangement is to be made available to every
other department He asked if the other departments were in favour of accepting
this arrangement and also asked if the departments would like the agreements changed
to provide that the M D honorarium is paid direct to the Department rather than to the
Town cr Village involved
Trochu - no extra honorarium $1600 00 only - unless advise office shortly
- pa_y honorarium directly to Department
All other departments - will accept extra honorarium unless advise given to the office
shortly and would like honorarium paid directly to the Department
Mr Hoff noted that the M D is attempting to ensure the honorarium paid to each
department is paid on a consistant basis
Mr Kessler from Acme asked if Acme Department would receive the $25 00 per rural
fire call answered and it was noted that the M D does not presently have an agreement
with the Village of Acme It was suggested by Linden that Acme Department should
work closely with the Linden department and decide together what equipment might be
required for the Acme department as it would have to be included in the Linden -Acme
fire budget
-3 --
Mr Hoff noted that the old water truck which the Three Hills Fire Departn
uses is old and the M D is considering allowing the department to use the
old spray truck as long as the A S B has access to the spray truck for
extra water storage during the spraying season
Mr Maerz noted that the M.D has other water trucks and any department
can request a water truck respond to a fire in the summer time if the
truck is in the area of the fire and can get to it quickly
Lorne Penner noted that the old water truck tank is worn out and will not
hold water
It was noted that the M D had to replace two fire hoses for the Village
of Acme as these hoses were damaged at the J R Jackson house fire
The request from the Acme Fire Department to construct a hose drying rack
in the M D shop at Acme was discussed with Mr. Kessler and he noted the
department does not have room to dry the hoses , they would clean them up
and put them on the rack at the M D shop and then when they were dry takE
them back to the fire truck which is stored in the Village shop
There was discussion about the Acme - Linden area and noted that the assesm
of that area likely could not support a rural truck in Acme as well as in
Linden
Linden noted they are considering purchase of a new truck next year
and that their equipment is old and it must be replaced
The Linden Fire Department members indicated they would be willing to work
with the Acme Fire Department
It was noted that Trochu does not have a radio pager system
Ac-e has an M D radio, a base station and two portable units
Torrington is in process of getting a new radio system and some new handhelds
Three Hills has a pager system as a back up to their fire phones
There was discussion about long service awards for fire department volunteers
and the departments indicated they would advise the M D Office of the names
of members who has 15 or 20 years of service.
Mr Hoff thanked the volunteers for their service to the M.D.
