2 • PERSONNEL The total- department is made up in the following manner: A. Full time 7 B. Part time 22 C.- Maintenance Reserve 12 (days only) During 1983 we were allowed an additional full time officer's position which provides each of the three shifts with an officer. Ken Anderson was promoted to this position through competition with other members of the Department. 1983 also saw the implementation of a Fire Relief Program for all full time and part time personnel. This program provides death and disability benefits in addition to a deferred compensation of $600 per year of service after serving for twenty years or more. This program should have a positive effect on the retention of our member- ship. APPARATUS The Apparatus Committee was very busy last year planning the purchase of a new pumper to replace our 28 year old F.W.D. pumper. We expect • delivery of the new pumper in the summer of 1984. Most of our equipment purchases, including the pumper, were made through a joint purchasing consortium. This purchasing system is unique to our area and was established and developed by Lee Entner. This joint purchasing group involves numerous fire departments throughout the State and realizes not only cost savings through volume buying of standardized equipment, but also improved quality of equipment due to a large pool of technical experience. During 1983 we also purchased 12 air masks which are technically superior to the ones they replaced. These :air masks will provide a . significant increase in safety for our firefighters while in a toxic atomsphere.
