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