I can see the news not definitively saying xxxx. This early, without official confirmation, it's easy for them to be burned.

Watching Fox about it. Apparently there's a lot of conflicting info. There saying possibly up to 60 people in the water, Possibly involving a helicopter, Hannity brought up a good point. He said post 911, civilian aircraft are not allowed at Reagan.

Another advantage of the Blitzfire and its Elkhart equivalent, is they also oscialte. You can set them up in a hallway, big box store, warehouse, haz mat enviroment etc, set it to oscialte, and walk away from it.

Dont think they have any concerns on spare parts. It's kind of like taking your personal car into the shop. They get to it when they get to it. My old dept had a EOne 100' rearmount. The main hydraulic swivel, that supplies the turntable for the lift and extension cylinders failed. Drove it to...

Right. That's what I was referring to. On paper when they say ohh the FD budget is higher now then before, but in reality its not.
