The big problem is not enough big fires, the members have call extra alarms on all jobs to strip and deplete the city of apparatus!!
Then that probably won't do much good as the bean counters and politicians don't really care as long as their property isn't affected.
Plus the fire department doesn't bring in any sufficient funds to the city coffers.

supposedly the mayor of baltimore city & chief clack have come up with a compromise that 14-engine & 15- truck will be spared but there will still be 4 rotating closurers per shift, also the city says that they also need 3.5 million dollars to keep 16-truck open from 01/01/2010 until 06/30/2010 they asking for some kind of donation system to procure this 3.5 million dollars.
