Trying to get twenty-seven guys to agree on what kind of truck the Dept. should buy is like watching British Parliment. Heated debates going back and forth, young guys versus old guys, etc. It's something truly out of a reality TV show.
The problem is like most departments. There is only so much money available. There is the on going debate of which of the aging fleet of trucks should be replaced and in what order; yet, remain in compliance with the community insurance ratings.
Perhaps there is some magical hose that when spun around makes everything alright.

also dwain when you build the truck look mat your community and your mutual aid depts and build it to last you and them for the next 20 years . we did because we do not know when we will see another new truck or grant and we don't want to be behind the 8 ball down the rd. 1 dept here recieved a grant and when i asked them about certain things on the truck and why they did it that way i was told we built it for looks not practicality.DUMB ASSES IN MY BOOK but they will learn. they also piggy backed off another dept so the truck is designed for another municipality and not theirs and their first due mutual dept. so alot to think about but worth the work and don't pay for a name.
