they already have 2 people paid to be in the station on weekdays they are getting a FT fire inspector - and they want a fulltime chief have 33 year old water tender - nice The Essex Fire Department currently consists of about 40 call emergency responders, two engines, one ladder truck, one squad vehicle, two ambulances equipped for basic life-saving, one marine unit and one tender, he said. The department is also seeking to replace the 22-year-old Engine 1, the 17-year-old Engine 2, and at least one of its two ambulances that Hassel said need to be replaced about every five years. The department’s annual budget amounts to $560,000, compared with budgets of $1.9 million in Manchester-by-the-Sea and a $674,826 in Rockport, Hassel said. (rockport is all vol mostly iirc - manchester is combo) if they went fully paid - 4 shifts of 3 people - then total budget might be $2M - but if they save just 1 home or 1 life - then its a bargain -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
