Bethel officials sign off on funding for Fire Dept. purchases

The Bethel Board of Selectman has signed off on fund for items for Stony Hill and Bethel Fire Departments.  All of the money would come from the Capital Non-Recurring Account.  $15,672 would be used for 12 replacement SCBA bottles for Stony Hill.  Nearly $4,000 would be used to replace tires on Rescue 2.  Funding was also approved for two 3M Scott Sight Masks for a pilot program for both Stony Hill and Bethel Fire.  Initially the Fire Commission was going to seek funding for 12 masks, 6 for each fire company, but they decided to do a pilot program with one each to see how firefighters like the masks.  This is the next evolution of the industry’s first in-mask, hands-free thermal imaging technology.
