Earlier this week, one of the local news channels ran a squib on a proposal by the City fathers to put the Curtis Randolph, Detroit's fireboat, into an extended dry dock to save costs. Obviously, fire and union officials are upset because of proposed layoffs, it's importance from a safety standpoint etc. Apparently Windsor officials are also expressing their concern.
Does this vessel REALLY serve a purpose anymore, is it just a show piece and is it really needed.? When did the Randolph actually go on a real run and put out a fire? Word has it that high maintenance costs have previously kept it out of service. What say you?
