    This is an EXCELLENT idea and an EXCELLENT opportunity.  It's been done in many other places across the country as well.

     

    A chance to further your education

    A chance to serve this community

    A chance to have a place to live at no cost

    A chance for those interested in the fire service to continue while going to school

     

    A WIN/WIN for ALL. I just wish they had something like this when I was younger.

  8. I sold GLOBE gear for a dealer for 15 years. I bought it as a demo set with numerous options etc. This is very lightly used for demos, some light training, and that is about it, as you can see in the picture. This set is well over $2500.00 new and MORE than capable of lasting several years of service for an active instructor.

    I find it amazing how so many ridicule. Probably need to find something else to do. Good Luck.


  9. I have seen single COMMAND units from SVI, Pierce, ETC cost easily 4m. There are "Tellular" networks, mobile repeater, microwave comm, extensive mobile and portable equipment, various cameras - fixed and mobile, and the list goes on. It will be impressive to say the least. The cost does not come from the steel and wheels as much, as it is the technology inside of the box. As we all know, MOTOROLA is not a cheap word.
