From Hastings Engine 44 Facebook page. I believe it is going to be a Spartan ERV as that is what the dealer named sells.

I can't seem to remember the "proper" answer.....does the FAST get held until suppression operations are over, or until the last firefighter leaves the structure after salvage/overhaul?

For example, corrupt Mayors dictating to FD who they should hire, court systems dictating who should get promoted, Chiefs promoting their "in crowd" or to fit their agenga, etc etc. While those who are truly deserving try and try again yet attempts are futile due to the same toxic leadership who know they can get away with it. As opposed to leaders who stand up for a fair hiring practice and make it clearly know and transparent to their subordinates...

Parking was ridiculously overpriced and a downright gouge, as was admission. It was so packed that I couldn't get to see what I wanted without getting shoved around every two seconds, if I could even make it through the crowd to get there in the first place. I stayed 5 minutes and turned around and left very disappointed- I don't like dealing with insanely crowded events. There are things I wanted to check out more. With what they are presumably making off this event, it would be nice if they could schedule the event on a day where they could open the arena floor for apparatus and other displays to free up some more people room in the expo hall.
