all the hats and it was well attended by the public. Denville brought their antique fire truck and
a fire dog. It was suggested our
association write Denville F.D. a thank you.
Education Trailer, Dennis Lonagan reported York
Trailer needs to do some work to the trailer and we need to register it and tow
it to put the new tires on it. Gail
can’t find the keys for the generator door.
Dennis will put one program together similar to St. Barnabas so we will
follow those training guidelines. The lettering will read “Morris County Fire
Prevention Association," with red lettering and black shadow. In smaller letters it will also say “Trailer
provided by Kinnelon Fire Dept.”
Trailer
insurance – After a presentation by Bob Van Riper on several different ways we
could insure the trailer, a motion was made by Joe Serrecchia and seconded by
Dennis Lonagan to purchase an Inland Marine policy to provide the property
coverage for the trailer in the amount of $33,000, with personal property
inside the trailer in the amount of $1,000 as well as a general liability
policy for $1,000,000 and a hired and non-owned auto policy so anyone can tow
the trailer. All of this through Harleysville Insurance Company for an
approximate annual premium of $1,206 which can be paid in installments.
