Xplorer4x4 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Have you had to deal with Hose house consolidations in your area? Have they turned out for the best? Was it a smooth transition and are residents ok with it?Evansville is shutting down one of, if not the busiest stations in the city as well as another busy station to consolidate them into houses using quints as there primary(only apparatus). The move will place pumpers into these houses moving the quints function from dual purpose to ladder only purposes. This is being done to save our ISO rating because otherwise it will fall and of course raise taxes. Taxes are already a sore subject because of our mayor forcing a new arena on us that hardly any one wants, and dont get me started on the location and how many people are upset because of the location.Anyways one of the effected houses also covers a major school district as it covers 2 high schools, a college and its campus, as well as a a Grade School housing grades K-8. The other covers an are aof the cit well known for its meth making and use.So just looking to hear feedback from those who have delt with such issues.
