The Sanibel Fire and Rescue District’s commission approved a handful of resolutions during its recent meeting, as well as heard updates on CARES Act funding and COVID-19 vaccination distribution.
On Dec. 9, the commissioners voted unanimously 3-0 to allow the purchase of an MSA gas detector and Galaxy automated calibration station and gas cylinders, along with other associated parts, at a cost of about $6,750. The equipment will be stored and utilized by Station 172 on Sanibel-Captiva Road.
Prior to the vote, Division Chief of Training Tim Barrett explained that the equipment picks up different kinds of gases, such as methane, to alert the crew to any dangerous ones at a scene.
