Trumbull Township trustees to put three old fire trucks up for bids DORIS COOK Star Beacon TRUMBULL TOWNSHIP - - Two older model fire trucks and an unused ambulance unit will go on the sale block this month by township trustees. Board chairman Ron Tamburrino suggested waiting until the board's July 19 meeting to finalize details on the bid specifications and when to begin advertising.
During Thursday's meeting, trustees talked with fire chief Don Crites, who said the firefighters would like to remove light bars, sirens and several other items off the two trucks before they are sold. The vehicles were returned to trustees' control as part of the lengthy legal battle settlement earlier this year with the former township private fire company. Trustees in March reclaimed the fire station property, equipment and records in the court case. Although it is still not completely settled as to financial obligations trustees refuse to pay incurred by the private fire company. Tamburrino said the issues involve legal bills allegedly due the former Trumbull Township Volunteer Fire Dept. Inc. attorneys. Trustees said they will take sealed bids on the three vehicles and reject any or all if the amounts offered aren't sufficient for their value. Township fiscal officer Sherry Wilber brought the board a renewal invoice for insurance coverage of properties, equipment and other liability. "Some items are missing on the list to be insured," Tamburrino said. After some discussion the board agreed to pay the $10,900 premium, but requested Watkins Insurance Agency officials to include the missing road and fire equipment. Tamburrino said he wanted the trucks being sold included as prospective buyers will want to test drive the vehicles. The 1987 ambulance unit was refurbished in 1996. The 1985 Pirsch pumper engine, which was bought as the new fire/rescue department was formed, is damaged after being in an accident on a call. Money received from the units sold will be used for station repairs or fixing the existing truck fleet, officials said.
