ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Now the Deputy is here in case there are any questions, maybe you should come forward and sit at one of the
seats, just in case. | don’t know if people have met you before. Any questions or comments? Do you know
this guy, do you know him?
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you Mr. Mayor. Deputy Buxton in the past we have gotten tools and everything on some of that
apparatus, is this just the price for the apparatus itself?
Steve Buxton, Deputy Nashua Fire & Rescue
This has a minimal amount of equipment.
Alderman O’Brien
So we will get some new equipment to upgrade.
