Summary

Peaine discussed generator capacity for the Town Hall and East Side Fire Hall. The report says 18.5 kilowatts could support listed basic loads and some plug-in medical equipment, while complete fire-station operation was estimated at 40 kilowatts. The question was left for further research as part of the emergency plan.
