That is a Factor if the Department dosne't have a Officcial Maintenance
uint. In tome past I have visited a lot of Fire Departments i nSDan
Diego County.  Fro a while I can acting as Cheufer for a Disabled
Retired fireman that could not drive any more. we have visited more
then 50 firehouses and inspected their equipemnt and talked with the
Firemen. In fact while visiting one in El Cajon California they got a
cal land he wanted ME to chased the Endine. He was disappointed when I
declined. I would have loved to do so but It is NOT a good Idea, besides
being ILLEGAL.

RJT>Maybe.  There seems to be some good info on the 'net out there in that cont

Hopefully as Seniors and Retirees become, more computer Literate they
