Another pertinent question is how much capital funding DFD submitted in the budget for new equipment, repairs, etc. If they aren't submitting for new equipment or repairs then they are responsible
Yup.. .. at least that way the Firefighters could stand watch over the firehouses instead of them being broken into and robbed when they go on runs with their leaking trucks.....
