No dents!

I could make remarks about the misuse crack, but you have the right to your opinion. As far as Authority, i don't agree with. No one blew though light or cranked up the speed. This was to welcome the new piece. A tradition that has been done for years. Your lucky if this is done once a decade anymore. If you feel a 1 mile drive with lights is a misuse or a waste of taxpayers money, I would hate to hear ur thoughts the 4 Hour Parade in Ocean City Maryland.

The camper was a rental used by the group who traveled out to pick up the engine.

Thanks for being the only one who was sensible in your response. We are all entitled to our opinions and I respect yours even if I disagree. They may not have increased speed or ran any traffic lights, but I just feel that the lights and sirens have a very specific purpose and any use beyond that is misuse. Thanks again for the respect!

I have lived in Ohio and Indiana both and never seen this done before so I guess I know a little something. I will take your word for it if they do at around you, but obviously not done everywhere. I've never even heard of it until I saw this.

I think you need to know the facts buddy. Volunteer or not, taxpayer money is used to fund the fire department. The only difference is a fully staffed department vs. one that obviously volunteer and unpaid. Why do townships that have volunteer departments put fire levys on the ballot for voters then? Look up your facts!

Very sweet engine....We got our new engine in July of 2009....I am from the Berkeley Springs Volunteer Fire Company.!

[explorer184]

Yeah Seriously you don't know anything about the history of the arrival of New Fire Apparatus apparently because almost every fire department I know of does this including mine and our fire department went almost 9 miles from the WV/MD line to the state road place to fuel up so stop this bull shit of making comments like these if you don't know anything.

have a quick comment since this kinda made me a bit mad, before you go saying its a waste of taxpayer money or fuel, because most volunteer fire companys pay for almost everything, i know the only thing that the township pays for where im a member at they only pay for half of our insurance, so just think before u say anything because u dont know all the facts

Thats good. Its a very nice looking truck!
