Although Glen Ellyn in volunteer, they have some very seasoned and experienced PROFESSIONALS! These guys are some of the last that I would critique about what they purchase!

I’m not commenting on their run status or whether the heavy rescue is justified they won’t need it until the day they will even with auto aid My comment is directed to the idea with volunteering on a drastic downturn they’re still able to have people willing to sacrifice their time. Forget the run status and look at the big picture……

Go to the runs demographics and statistics support these hobbyists buying a heavy rescue?
