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 twenty -plus years of service.
Retire Date Hire Date
Firefighter 151 Class Craig Fruth, Badge #513 August 20, 2023 June 18, 2003
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 Firefighter Fruth.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Carl R. Buchanon
Fire Chief
