BUCHANON <br />January 20, 2023 FIRE CHIEF <br />Board of Public Works <br />227 W. Jefferson Blvd. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear Board Members: <br />The following Firefighters have retired as members in good standing from the South Bend Fire <br />Department, having served 20-plus years of service respectfully. <br />Retire Date Hire Date <br />Captain Robert Brechtl <br />1/8/2023 <br />7/24/1992 <br />Firefighter Michael Brown <br />1/7/2023 <br />8/20/1999 <br />Firefighter Brian Duszynski <br />1/7/2023 <br />6/25/1995 <br />Firefighter Steve Searfoss <br />1/6/2023 <br />1/4/1989 <br />Firefighter Steve Vandervort <br />1/7/2023 <br />7/24/1992 <br />The fire helmets and boots used for many years are, in my opinion, unfit to be issued to another fire <br />fighter in this Department. The fair market value is practically negligible and certainly far less than <br />$1,000.00. <br />I request that the helmets and boots be declared as surplus and presented to the retirees. <br />Thank you for your consideration of this request. <br />Sincerel , <br />1� r�Gc <br />Carl R.
