So then what are those Caprices for?

We have had a similar unit in operation for quite a few years. However ours acts strictly as a water main and does not carry any equipment or tools. It's sole purpose is to get as close to the scene a possible, drop the 5" and run to the bay to draft.

Instead of deleting my posts explaining what I said originally why not delete the entire thread so people don't continue to take what I said out of context.
If you are going to continue to delete posts based on your own opinions at will you should not have any part in such a site and you probably should move to Iran or somewhere else that censors free speech.

This site continues to amaze me. I don't know how anyone has the right to remove my post and move it to its own thread where it is being taken completely out of context. The original post was in response FDNY budget cuts. It said nothing derogatory nor was offensive in any way. It simply asked a question that maybe this is another reason why there are fiscal problems in the city.
I did not question if he deserved it or anything else. I just wonder how a government like NYC can survive when it is paying out disability pensions (and a $300k one time payout for unused sick time) of that magnitude for civil servants?
It is not a bash on anyone or anything. I am simply asking a question and this post should have been left where it was.

...............and jobs for other Americans.
I find it completely amazing how many flag waving Americans (and Firefighters) can turn their backs on this country and its workers to save a couple of bucks.
Whelen prides itself on Designing and MANUFACTURING all of its products in the United States of America. These other companies take Whelen's designs, knock them off in China, and export them here for a percentage of the price.
Sure a Whelen product costs a few bucks more but the quality and performance is significantly better and you are keeping US workers at work supporting our country. Why is that so easy to forget??
And also don't forget that a huge majority of workers at Whelen's facilities are volunteer Firefighters and EMS just like us, including all of the people who run the company. So BROTHERS, lets keep our fellow BROTHERS at work and remember to buy AMERICAN!!!!!

They are knock offs of Whelen lights and are made in China, not the US.
