It would have been even better if the local volunteers who run that area and the others that staff the only continuously in service ladder truck in the county would have been invited to attend the training. Especially considering the training was held in the county by a city department. But i guess those involved in the planning are trying to expand their sandbox.
to localguy perhaps you should contact your paid training officer with your PAID county dept. since they are the ones who were first contacted and started the process of this whole training scenio, then dumped into the laps of the dept.you accuse of trying to expand their sandbox.
