re: Fire fighting needs to be rethunk

I took my Polaris Ranger into the shop for new tires yesterday. In the next bay, the local volunteer fire department had their year old toy in for scheduled service. A 900 Polaris with every conceivable manufacturer option on it, plus another 5 to 8k worth of fire toys, gear, and comms. There was not a scratch on this beast. It must look great at the Thanksgiving parade. So much conspicuous waste in our government.
