    Bryan:
    Just found you on this website. Nice to see a NE Ohio guy here. Hope all is settling down a little w/ PFD and the city. We (Euclid) know what you're going through. Our situation isn't any better. Give me a call if you have any questions 216-374-5185 or C-platoon in Euclid 216-289-8415. Take care.

    Brian, happy new year! What type of aerial do you have (mid-mount or rear-mount)? We're looking into a rear mount b/c we're probably going to get a FEMA grant for $750,000 towards a new one. Right now we have a mid-mount. I think I've seen rear-mounts in PFD, but no sure. Give me your thoughts regardless. Thanks!
