There arc no more celebratory
rides on the Brussels fire truck.
Councillors decided at their Oct.
5 meeting to adopt the policy of
Lucknow which forbids anyone but
firefighters to ride the firetrucks
owned by the village.
Councillor Joe Seili had present-
ed a proposal for consideration. He
said there had been a small "inci-
dent" last season and was con-
cerned that the fire department had
not written procedure to follow.
Seili suggested that council allow
riding on the truck if the truck and
a designated driver were available
for championship minor sports
teams, parades and during any of
the firemen's breakfasts.
Clerk-Treasurer Donna White
said she felt the best policy was
that no civilians should ride the
truck, but Seili added that that's
hard to explain to children.
Councillor Mary Stretton com-
mended Seili for suggesting a poli-
cy be put into place, but felt it
should be no riders, no exceptions.
The fact that this was a matter of
legalities prompted Councillor
Greg Wilson to ask how council
could make a policy on something
that would be illegal. Councillor
Mike Thomas concurred. "The fire-
fighters can't even tide on the truck.
That's why they; got the rescue
van."
The motion banning any riders
on the firetruck due to liability con-
cerns passed.
