Changes to the KV Fire Department Budget


A major about-face on spending for the Kennebecasis Valley Fire Department budget this year. Instead of refurbishing both of the Rapid Intervention Vehicles, only one will be at a cost of $15,000 dollars while the other is sold and expected to fetch $30,000 dollars. $175,000 dollars had been set aside to upgrade both vehicles but the department has now requested all of the surplus cash from this years budget be rolled over until next year. Quispamsis gave it's blessing to this move.
 Fire Chief Bill Ireland is putting forward a request in next years budget for $400,000 dollars to buy a Class "A" pumper truck to replace the exsisting Rapid Intervention Vehicles.
