Mark, Thank you for the friendship you extended to me. Congratulations on your retirement and your 4 plus decades of service. You will be missed.

Atlanta can't be that resourceful! They will acquire one rig only, A few months back they had no reserve truck companies and neighboring departments had to respond on greater alarms. Truck companies were browned out or put in a non firefighting vehicle. perfect example at poor resource...
As busy as AFR rigs are, all will break after a few years. Next door in Dekalb, I personally saw a rig in front line that had over 300K miles. No matter the manufacturer it boils down to Specs, Maintenance and use!
This is my department.

I have operated on both ends of the water supply spectrum. hot hydrants where the engine was a glorified manifold wagon up to my current where we have so few hydrants that we seldom if never have one to hit so we must draft and or shuttle. Water does make the fire go out!
