Do you plan on buying another set of hurst tools because one set of hurst tools might not be enough

That's been attempted for years, but it hasn't been put into the budget. Don't know why but that's all i am gonna say.

In a response area that is less than 2 square miles?

In this case it looks like the political oversight understands that it is a lot of taxpayer money that does not need to be spent. And within 4-6 minutes they can get another one from: DFFD, AFD, IFD, GFD, YFD & YPD.

We need to stop thinking in terms of "my little kingdom". Why do 58 fire depts all need to buy every little toy out there? How many extrications do many of these depts do? How good can they be if they do so few because of duplication of services?

good point there have been accidents when hastings has not even called mutual aid but due to the proximity of to the borders of any of the other jurisdictions there were up three other sets of tools on scene in minutes...
