DASSEL, MN – The Dassel City Council heard a report Monday from the Dassel Fire Department’s committee to get a new pumper truck to replace the department’s 1981 unit. Fire Chief Dale Grochow said with the new emission requirements and other requirements for 2009, a new pumper might cost between $300,000 to $550,000. The council authorized the committee, which includes DJ Ohm and Kurt Mortenson, to put together specifications for a pumper truck so they can get price information. Mayor Ava Flachmeyer asked them to get the information before December so it can be put in the 2009 city budget before it is finalized.
