# Lost Creek fire district asks county for $50,000 after paying to fix a truck's pump mid-fire

## What happened
Fire Chief John Hendrix told the council that a pump on one of Lost Creek-Nevins Fire Protection District's engines catastrophically failed during a fire earlier this year, and the district paid to repair it rather than buy a new half-million-dollar truck. He asked the council for an additional $50,000 from the district's cumulative fire fund to cover the cost, since the repair depleted the fund.


## The outcome
Presented to the council for consideration; no vote was taken at this meeting.
