[QUOTE=Stu from NYC;1920942]Our firefighters should have all the equipment they need but why in the world are we paying for something that can go 10 stories high?[/QUOTE

Maybe the old "rather be safe than sorry" ? Watching the devastation in Alabama this morning made me think of Charlie and some of the tornadoes that have ripped through our community. Can you imagine the human tragedy if one of our hospitals had hundreds of patients, already bedridden, hit like some in Alabama have been in the past ? Might never be used, may save many lives, but you have to HAVE it ready, can't do an "after the fact" ! ? Just a thought. Seems a lot of high rise building going on around here, and more planned (over where they tore down the country club/pool gossip says "could" be high rise apartments, if not, probably somewhere in the V's)
