    It blows me away at how some vollie departments have such opulent and way better equipment than a staffed 24/7 career department that uses it. Looking at these guys website they've done a grand total of 361 calls for the year to date (July 2024) These guys probably get a new truck when it needs windshield washer fluid and my dept keeps our trucks for at least 12-15 years when they should go in 10 due to how ran ragged they are.
