If they do that, than maybe they should consider bringing in licensed plumbers as well. We go to enought water/steam leaks a year to warrant sending two plumbers and an officer in a minivan for mitigation, instead of making fire supression units unavailable.

So, the outstanding question is. HOW WILL THIS WORK? Is it going to be similar to LACoFD Lifeguards? Or are Engine Companies expected to be out of quarters for the entire 9x being lifeguards between runs?
