would the world end if the US government passed a law that said that no fire truck and no ambulance should be more than 10 years old?
what would happen? maybe 50% of the units in the USA would have to be retired the retired units would find their way to foreign countries and be used for another 10 years each fire department budgets probably would not change much after the initial shock - a new pumper would still cost $500K - but upon retirement it would probably be worth much more a major benefit would be for disaster relief - all of the rural areas could now drive their rigs to Calfornia to help out and not worry about breaking down or crashing while enroute and technological advancements would be introduced faster into the fleets - in theory I noticed that College Park MD seems to be replacing their aerial on 10 year spans now -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
