Have some crazy news? The Brentwood FD located outside of Nashville is an all paid dept. They are having a budget crisis so the politics figured why not cut the FD. They have 4 stations. They run with 4 engines,1 ladder and 1 heavy rescue.
Here is there answer.
All engines are now 2 man. ( 1 driver and 1 officer -- thats it )
The ladder ONLY has a driver. 1 person thats it.
The rescue down to 2.
They used to have a battalion on A,B, and C shift. Now they only have 1 and one of the Captains has been placed in the chief car and runs around as Command.
Its dangerous and pathetic. Considering all the Brentwood PD have new chargers and explorers and not a one of there positions were cut. Mayor's response was that " If its a real fire more than 1 truck comes anyone".
Hope his house never goes on fire and he will realize very quickly that theres not enough men on the truck.
What do you all think?
