just New truck arrives says Sparling
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
North Huron Council made the
decision to fast-track the purchase of
a fire engine for North Huron just in
time according to Fire Department
of North Huron Chief David
Sparling.
Council approved the purchase of
a tanker truck late last year after the
department had run into several
problems.
The new tanker, which should be
available for training later this week,
will have arrived approximately 28
days after Tanker 4 from the
Wingham hall of the FDNH was
placed out of service.
"Mechanical repairs are proving
cost prohibitive for the truck,"
Sparling said during council's Jan.
19 meeting. "Tanker 8 has been
moved from Blyth as a band-aid
solution."
The new truck, which has to be
winterized as it was purchased used
from the United States, will allow
Tanker 8 to be moved back to Blyth.
While the equipment arriving is
timely from having the right equip-
ment available for both halls, it is
also timely, Sparling stated, in that
the dipping Canadian dollar has seen
fire equipment expenses skyrocket
for Canadian fire departments.
"In conversations with other
chiefs, the U.S. dollar is becoming
more and more a concern," he said.
"Every last thing we buy is
American priced. The tanker would
have cost $20,000 more due to a
scheduled price increase and the dol-
lar value if we would have waited."
Sparling said that another munici-
pality had deferred a similar pur-
chase last year due to its $340,000
Canadian price tag only to find out
now the truck would cost $405,000
Canadian.
