[quote name='Trulucky' post='328826' date='Aug 11 2009, 11:17 ']Hilton Head was awarded a SAFER grant which would have given them the manpower to staff the engines that replaced the quints as engines and add a truck company to the existing truck company. The town turned down the SAFER grant because as reported in the media, the town would not have the funds to retain them after the grant was over. I think they were the first to get a SAFER and turn it down. Now they have the need to have the ladder on the quints back for ISO credit to cover for the truck company that is not going to happen. They want to sell the two engines and get two quints. This is the story I have heard. I do not have this first hand.[/quote]
