Brewer - info from [email protected] 06Nov00 - Mark, ���
� Thank you for sharing that story with us. I have printed it and will post it at my station so everyone can see how damn lucky our dept. is !! ���
� My dept. is made up of full time and part time members. The population of Brewer is about 9000 +/-. We have some of the full time members bitching that our Chief� and the city does not support them when it comes time for that new union contract. �
�� In the last year alone all members were outfitted with new turnout gear to the tune of about $900 a set. Forty sets were purchased. New jaws were purchased for about $16,000. Last but not least we just received a new Pierce Dash 2000 Quint which was just pennies under $500,000. �
�� Maybe after reading your post they will see just how good they do have it. If you need any 2 1/2" hose, please let me know. I'm sure we could give up a few lengths.
