Ya know, I wanted to put that in there, but I wasn’t 100% certain. Those old seagraves served the city well

This was on the RFD post about the fire. This is the pic. Still getting it in, while on fire.

Quints have no business in a busy department. I know that there is varying opinions of them, but small cities and slower departments is where they belong.

That was an absolute flop for RFD.

Don't look too hard at the reserve fleet 🤣 Those things are still kicking!

The shot of the one quint with the nozzle still in rescue mode pretty much encapsulates the experience.
