Quote:I can not say exactly what their Fire call load is of any types.... but I will say that is a LOT of tax dollars being spent on a rig that is only staffed with 2 people.. yes, 2!!! as I last spoke with an Apopka Lt, they run 4, 2man engines, 1, 2 man tower which cross staffs their Rescue, 4, 2 man ambulances, a 1 man Battalion and have a "Squad" which is an SUV with 4 men in it, that does a lot of inspector work during the day also running calls as a man power unit. it's a joke in my opinion and NOT safe at all.
Well if its only staffed by two then I can see why its so decked out with CAF's and booster reels to make it easier on the two people who have to operate it. As far as waste in my opinion in today's economy of you can get the money out of them "go for it" so I am all in favor of them loading it down. Whoever got the money must be gifted so I am happy for them, they are good looking units.
Although I am still a little confused on the 3 stage pump, that one has me stumped as to why they would need a 3 stage.
