One would think so. But any scrap they did/do have laying around was turned in for cash. They need it for the "Shop Account", as there is no money to buy tools with. Our city, as with many others, is very short on cash. Our fleet is aging rapidly and there is no plan for apparatus in the near future. We will be very lucky to retain our current level of staffing next year. We are just hoping to avoid layoffs they speak of.
