Dear Board Members:
The following firefighter has retired as a member in good standing from the South Bend Fire Department,
having served thirty-two years of service.
Retire Date Hire Date
Captain Kenneth Marks, Badge #363 August 11, 2023 July 17, 1991
The fire helmet and boots used for many years are, in my opinion, unfit to be issued to another firefighter 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 Captain Marks.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Carl R. Buchanon
Fire Chief
