The Bullhead City Fire Department continues to work on getting its extractors up and running, Fire Chief Patrick Moore told governing board members Tuesday morning.
The devices are special washing machines designed to remove toxins from the gear crews wear at fire scenes.
When the purchase of the extractors was brought to a fire district bond committee earlier this year, department staff mentioned that laundry spaces at fire stations would have to be remodeled, as they were not designed for the additional electrical and plumbing gear needed to run the new equipment.
Moore told board members that there were a couple of snags in the permitting process, but that an updated application has been submitted.
He said city officials will inspect the work that has been done so far and inform the BCFD of what to do going forward.
