Great, informative video, from top to the bottom, great job. Hope you can continue to purchase, Pierce, there the best manufacture of fire apparatus out there. My condolences on the salesman/firefighter and the city grant writer, tough losses. Also, I see you hired 2 firefighters, were they the top 2 scoring through testing???? That had to be very tough beatig out all the applicants they had for just 2 hires, if so great job, thats very tough to do. Im retired now, but when i was hired, they capped the apps at 500, and we hired 4 at the time. very tough. I know a friens that tried for one North Eastern US city, wont say name, but applied 9 times, the last 3 he scoredi in the top 1%, and still never get on. Thats a huge slap in the face, while other just had to pass and were sent to the academy. Ouch. Anyway, great job Eastside, hope your able to fill the shifts in the future, and have all your units on with full crews, and in service every shift. It seems to me your running a very light shift.
Christopher Foley was in the firefighting program, requirment be on your local volly dept. Well mine let me go and hired the ast cheifs son and nephew. I was told go work ems, I do but really miss fire
