Fire Chief Fredricks presented the following letter: • January 12, 1966 Henry Jameson, President • Board of Public Works & Safety. City of Richmond, Indiana Dear Mr. Jameson: Even though the #5 fire pumper is in service at this time, the engine in this pumper is not up to an accepted standard. Our MaintenanceD epartment has done an excellent job at keeping it going; however, I feel it to be in the best interest of the Department to repower this number with a new engine, preferably a Diesel engine. As you know, we already have oneDiesel engine in service at this time. This engine has been in service for almost one (1) year. The performance of this engine and the economy of its'maintenance andoperation has proven to us that the move to the Diesel engine was a good one. This is a part of the Repowering Program that I have discussed with- the Board of Works and the Councilman. Respectfully, /s/ Ernest Fredricks, Chief Richmond Fire Department City of Richmond, Indiana
