I think Sieg mentioned the amount of fire equipment that was responding to a known town drunk....
I have mentioned that when you "MUST" budget - that things change because people start to actually dig into what they can do with and what they can do without....
Today I find an article that incorporates what Sieg pointed out - and what is, to me a way to look and see what you can do with a budget. When you read the headline - you're appalled -- then when you read the facts - it's not so bad - because "most" of the fire calls at this station ARE NOT fire related.... Makes sense to me...
