believe me, its nothing like a Mack, a totally different concept and made of wood!!

We are due to go out on strike this month for 3 24 hour strikes, to protect our pensions and working conditions, the whole of London is reliant on a group of unemployed people from Birmingham trained to squirt water and put up ladders, crewing 27 fire engines, as the green godesses have all been sold.

But rest assured folks if anything Major happens the Real FF's will break away from their strike to deal with it. Its sad that in this day and age Public Sector workers have to resolve to strikes

And second jobs.

Good luck with getting the public on side.

They're hardly equivalent to the Macks!  They may be old but they are rarely used unlike the Macks that FDNY had.  The article states that some of them only have 3000 miles on them which is significantly less than any of the Macks.
