Mt. Vernon Union vs. the Mayor

[Bnechis 3,961]

In the latest round of "does MVFD have enough firefighters?" Mayor E. Davis made a great statement to News 12;

"Their is only so many people that can work a fire"

I guess that FDMV likes to leave their "Retired" Rigs out in the back of Station 5 (AKA "The Graveyard"). I would bet that the Old Engine 2 and Engine 6, and the Old Spare Mack Engine 1 are back their along side the "FOAM RIG". Why doesn't Mayor Davis sell these retired rigs as scrap and get some money to put back into the Department (yes, I know you don't get much value back on these rigs, but heck, something is better than nothing !!!)

I don't think the issue here is money. He believes they do not need anything.
