Excerpt from The Northwest Arkansas News-
Fire association to seek maintenance personnel, substation
By Kara Isham Staff Writer karai@nwanews.com
BENTONVILLE — The executive board of the Benton County Fire Protection Association approved a maintenance plan for county-owned fire equipment during its meeting Tuesday. Gerald Hodges, coordinator for the county’s Department of Emergency Management, said that according to the recommendation from the executive board, he is preparing an ordinance for the Quorum Court’s Personnel Committee requesting a county employee position for a service technician. With the technician’s ability to visit rural fire departments for routine maintenance and repairs, Hodges said, the departments will save on labor and transportation costs, with the departments only paying for materials. He said the departments will also save time for the volunteer firefighters who currently transport the vehicles to and from the station. Hodges said there are currently 71 county-owned vehicles in 25 rural fire departments. Besides doing preventative maintenance involving routine checkups, Hodges said, the technician will also be able to service vehicles that have broken down on the way to or from a fire call.
