So sad to see so many "experts" weighing in on the need for this vehicle...with no knowledge of how it is used or what the purpose of the vehicle is. This is a necessary piece of equipment that will serve the community well for many years. I hope it will never be used...but if it is needed (high-angle rescue, below grade rescue, house fire, commercial fire or any other emergency) it will be a valuable asset. Please leave the decision on what is needed to the experts...
