#2. What are the odds fire truck damaged on a snack run? Really irritates me to watch Fire Department ask for more money after years of watching them show up with massive and spendy rigs, to handle car accidents, bicycle scrapes, and heart attacks.
You obviously know nothing about how Fire Departments operate. They may need tools - both hand and power at car accidents, sometimes massive amounts of EMS gear AND may have to put out a fire. You want them to show up in a Ford Explorer and then NOT have a real truck to respond to a nearby fire when their done with the car accident? Get a clue.
A rural fire department south of my home has four stations that are continuously under threat of being closed for 'lack of funding'. They have tried four times to get voters in their district to approve a healthy increase in the fire assessment on their property taxes and all four times they've been turned down by comfortable margins. A week after the last attempt there was an article in the paper about how that fire district had just purchased acreage down the road from their main station and were soon to begin construction on a new $7 million firehouse and district office. When asked about the timing of the announcement, just a week after they had asked homeowners in their district for more money, the chief was quoted as saying he had to wait until after the vote as 'the deal hadn't been finalized yet'.
Damned evil spirits! Ohio Guy

Lake Michigan ain't exactly "drifting out to sea".
