Dear Board Members:
Phone (574) 235-9255
Fax(574) 235-9305
The following firefighter has retired as a member in good standing from the South Bend Fire Department,
having served 25-plus years of service.
Retire Date Hire Date
Firefighter Tracey Cannady, Badge #432 April 4, 2023 October 24, 1997
The fire helmet 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 helmet and boots be declared as surplus and presented to Firefighter Cannady.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Carl R. Buchanon
Fire Chief
