    4. Fire Chief Reports: Attended the Green Valley Wildland Expo at Solano Junior College from 10 – 2pm. It went well overall. I was there with Suisun District, Suisun City and Vacaville District. I learned we are able to borrow the burn pan and related equipment from OES. Possibly we will use that in the future. / 561 came back from the shop with a new turbo in it. After about 300 a high pitched squeal began. It was retuned to Rio Vista Ford to have them place a new part. It should be returned on Monday. / Chief’s vehicle is in the shop due to a freewheeling tire that rolled into it. Chief described the accident and damage. Approximately damage cost is $7,000 which Chief has turned over to FAIR insurance. There are four applications that have been turned in for the seasonal FF position.
