A lot of surprises when it comes to Indy lately, Bro. Not sure if the department is sending us out this year, either. We are doing the Baltimore Expo this year. See you down at USAR brother.

Art, IAFF Local 5 had a study done to justify 4 person staffing to the city council and I believe you can get it by contacting them. I don't know if you're interested but your comments regarding trying to get more on a truck there made me believe you may be interested.
