BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS
While returning from a fire call on Sunday, May 4, 1986, the engine in Unit #4 sus-
tained a complete mechanical breakdown. The Unit was then towed to the Town of New-
castle Works garage in Hampton.
In consultation today with the Works Department head mechanic, Mr. B. Werry, regarding
repairs, he advised that the only course of action would be a rebuilt engine.

FD - 13 - 2 -
Because of the importance of this vehicle for rural fire protection, I have advised
Mr. Werry to proceed with the repairs, which are estimated to be in the area of
$4,500.00.
I would request Committee's approval for these repairs, which are required immediately.
Respectfully submitted,
J. Aldridge,
Fire Chief.
