Trucks and Equipment, Commissioner Sheehan
We had a couple of adjustments made:
12-31 had a battery issue and it wasn't charging properly through the charging system
to have the computer running in the car when it was off and it was running the battery
down. We replaced the battery and the charging system in the bottom of the vehicle to
make sure everything was charging properly.

The receptacle adapter for the rescue and 12-31 we are having Mitch look into that and
replacing those in the next week.

We had a couple first aid rigs go down. One is at Ray's with some radiator hose
problems which they are going to be fixing in the next two or three days.

We sent a couple of vehicles out which Commissioner Souza has already paid the bills.
One was 12-31 and the other was 12-35.
