[quote name='massfirebuff' post='68332' date='Jan 17 2007, 08:13 ']The first thing that comes to my mind is how the schools take a HUGE chunk out of the budget. Beverly High has been on the verge of losing accreditation, and we are now facing the cost (tens of millions) of rebuilding the high school. Increasing health costs have also been a major burden to cities and towns. So when you put these factors together with cuts in state aid, it really ads up. But still even I am mystified, that with the tax base we have, that the money isn't there to keep Ladder 1 on the road.
As always the FD seems to be first on the chopping block. Other communites have faced cuts in recent years...Peabody Engine 1 is OOS much of the time. The same with Salem Engine 1, and most notably Lynn suffered large amounts of layoffs a couple of years ago. Engines 8, 11, Rescue 1 and the two BLS Ambulances were deactivated.
In the past when Centerville and Ryal Side were closed, then when Ladder 1 was put OOS much of the time, the citizens that were effected, along with the city council were quite concerned. But now it seems all have forgotten, at least until they need the FD's service, and then they have to wait for an engine from the other side of town that was tied up on a medical call.[/quote]
Yeah, I agree. The FD is always the first cut. Hopefully the brothers won't pays the price for the city's shortsightedness.

I believe it's a 1989. I remember working on the wiring in it in 1990, and it had been in service about a year at the time.

1989? Amazing what it has been through between then and becoming a spare.

Was for sale back in 2002, I spoke to one of Great Barrington's FFs (R. Bailey) who had bought it around that time and I believe that he said that he sold to someone in Mt. Washington
