If we stay on that pace, we're going to be closer to 300 calls for for the year. So those calls for service keep going up.
In that time span, we're going to have a fire department that's out of service because we don't have gear that is laundered and put together.
The problem is we don't have commercial vehicle extrication equipment. So, if we do get in an accident with a large vehicle, we don't really have the equipment to lift those vehicles off of anything.
We're going to struggle, you know. [The building infrastructure] doesn't have what it would take to actually operate a EOC.
