Well I'm shocked! By more than a couple things from the meeting. But nearly $9 grand for a cosmetic repair? That's just crazy talk! I was at the fire station on 9/24, looking over the equipment and speaking with one of the crew. I mentioned how beautifully clean the equipment was and also was surprised to see a dent in the right rear fender of one of the fire trucks. Please don't tell me THAT is the damage you mentioned! I have no idea of what the rules are for reporting accidents but once they got the news about the cost of repair, why wouldn't the accident be reported at that point? And why wasn't an insurance claim made then?
The fender damage and the bumper damage are from separate accidents.
It is indeed surprising that the bumper damage was not previously reported to the town's insurance company - or to town administration. The Town Administrator found out about it when she was inspecting the fender damage.
