Hey when you go down there, find out the status of thier new firehouse. I know they have been trying to raise funds for the building for a few years now. Have they had anumore luck towards groundbreaking?

I was in Rockaway last weekend and when we drove by the site it is still the same just fenced off with the sign. Not a thing has been done. But I will ask some of the guy's next weekend.

The nickname Renegade Warriors, for you history buffs out there, was given to the BC Vollies by a Chief in the 47Bn.

The reason I was told its missing is because the pump is being repaired / replaced and that is why the Hahn is not in service yet. That was form a question I has asked on Ed Burke's site.
