Interesting Summit news. Is that a referendum item?
I’m probably getting way ahead… but what comes of the 3 Summit engines? Or, do they keep an engine and it becomes a jump company scenario between engine and snorkel at the Summit house?

news is Snorkle will be redone and possibly moved to Summits house if Bedford takes over Summit FD the Snorkle would run out of the Summit station with a new engine going in service where the snorkle is at

They have been quite active in rotating equipment of late. This will make 3 ambos and a truck in 2 to 3 years.
What’s next? Their snorkel?

Why does that bother you? Don’t you have better things to worry about? They are replacing older equipment.
