Awesome topic!! I've read in some of the trade journals and online sites about some the lawsuits in the City, but haven't ever been able to really wrap my head around the entire thing - this was an excellent description.
Not to take away from the discussion of the apparatus, but two major items I see from what you wrote:
1. Is the city attempting to make the SFD an all-career FD? Is one needed, or do the combination departments have enough staffing to make a difference?
2. Is there some reason that the continued purchase of problematic apparatus continues?
Thanks!
