One of our city fire departments would have sent their entire department (4 engines, 1 truck, and a BC) to it and called mutual aid to cover the city. I wish I was joking. It’s happened many times.Garbage can fire, sounds very serious, hope you didn't have to call for mutual aid!

And the public wonders why their taxes go up year after year...
Mini-pumpers with 2 FFs can meet needs for...80% (or more) of calls in my area.
(Heck, so could an SUV with a fire extinguisher.)

Exactly. This department also just spent +$5 million on all brand new engines and trucks even though their now old equipment isn't very old at all and still works perfectly while their police department has a ton of very old patrol cars. You can say there is some hurt feelings right now between them.

$308 for registration and $70 for smog. All to register a 10 year old midsize truck that has close to 150,000 miles on it. California blows...
Same here. Started P/D with a hospital, got offered P/T once evaluated. Hopefully soon, can’t get off the truck soon enough.
