I can't decide either I have some ideas but I'm not sure. It took an act of congress to get this one but I guess it was the location and that's why I got what i did...I was suprised it didn't hurt like I was afraid of. I made a rule for myself that it would only be after I get hired full time with a FD and since I'm on the last stretch before I go to work full time I guess I need to put some thought into it.

Yeah we had the gas leak, a box truck with chemicals in caught fire on University Ave. and fire over on Walnut St. just off Old University. We had an alarm this morning a Liz Waters, just dust thought! Fyi you can listen to dipatch on buckysfirehouse.com! Stay safe!

The tractor is my part time business and I shot a swimsuit calendar. So, to answer your question, yes the tractor has fought brush fires when my burn piles get away from me on windy days. I swear they did not need the third alarm, that was overkill. lol
