The fire department will soon have a new Scott Test Bench.

"The Scott Test Bench is a required piece of equipment,” said deputy fire chief Rod Montgomery at Tuesday’s council meeting. “The history on it is it test all the self-contained breathing apparatus that we have in the fire department.”

The certification of the current test bench is expired. Under the approved 2013-2017 equipment reserve budget the fire department reserved $12,000 for the purchase of the new bench as a piece of major equipment.

According to a fire department report to council, between the tender dates of July 9 and July 26, the fire department received two tender responses. The lowest bid price was from Century Vallen of Regina for $12,345.34 plus taxes. The total purchasing price was $12,962.61.
