As the guy winding out the Q in this video, thanks for the compliments! Believe it or not, when I was learning how to drive fire trucks (20 years ago!) my officer actually took the time to teach me how to use the Q properly... Now that I'm the officer, I try to pass it on.
All fire trucks should have Q sirens all of the time just like I knew them to have twenty or so years ago. An electrical replica just doesn't cut it for something so big and having so much momentum running down the road. If not having them is due to budget reasons, then at least all should now be equipped with rumbler or howler sirens.
Beautiful Q!!! That's how I think ALL fire trucks should sound like ALL of the time. An electronic siren is nice to have as a backup should the Q decide not to work. Please don't flame me just my opinion.
it's called furloughs. the city failed to control it's budget so they decide to cut funding to public saftey. this equals less guys working each shift.
pretty much everyone blames the mayor, but it's not just her. it's the city council, the accounting and finance departments that control the cash flow, and many other's.
I could not be an Engineer with Atlanta. Would be road raging after my first run.
