After approval by the Poynette-Dekorra-Lowville Fire Commission, the Poynette-Dekorra Fire Department will purchase breathing apparatus to replace five 1999 pieces. At its April 4 meeting, the commission unanimously approved the transfer of funds from the contingency/vehicle replacement fund for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs) gear. Two of the five replacement SCBAs have already been purchased from a $5,600 donation from the fire company, which was raised during its St. Patrick’s fundraiser.
