Fire Authority


The Rogers City Area Fire Department Authority (RCAFDA, pronounced Re caf da), or simply the Fire Authority, held a meeting last night. In addition to the board members and staff, Kathleen Tulgestke, Nathan Langlois and Mike Kroll also attended. Kathleen was looking for relief from a fire run charge, and the board has ask staff to write a letter to the insurance company about their non-payment. There was discussion of the agenda, and the budget for 2009 was approved. Chief Tim Luebke is working on improved training, including ice rescue, vehicle extrication, and smoky-building searches, in addition to all the regular figher-fighter training. The Fire Authority Board is considering purchase of a new pumper truck, estimated to cost about $225,000.
