He said Chief Jett purposed that along with the newly purchased pumper truck, a tanker truck and a brush truck would be future additions to the substation located at Oxford Township. Mr. Parker said that having this equipment at the substation, would allow quick response to any emergency occurring in Oxford Township with backup as needed from the main station at Groton Township. After some discussion, all agreed that there was a lot of planning and work to be done.

Mr. Stewart reported that he had done some measuring and had staked out an area for his idea of a purposed cold storage building, meaning any equipment that could be stored for the winter that wouldn’t require being in a heated building. After reviewing the purposed area for the building it was suggested that Chief Jett, along with a representive from Groton Township Trustees meet at the site to review the purposed plans to remodel an existing garage bay to accommodate the pumper truck and needed equipment. It was decided that everyone could meet Tuesday October 10^th at 3:00 pm.
