  12. All i can say is get a wood burning insert for your fireplace, heats the house all day on a few logs! Cuts down on oil and gas prices as much as 35% (we've noticed) just got to get the wood cut and stacked, and no worries if the power goes out.
  13. Its a seminar, based on previous I believe it is lecture based, I can find out unless stench reads this before i get to him and confirms.

  17. I know all new apparatus must meet nfpa approval and they do have a certain ammount of square inches of reflectivity required, they also put down the ammount of lights that now go on to each section of a fire apparatus. As to what is required now I have no clue.
