If all I do is break even for three years, is it a good deal? The answer is yes. It puts us on a different growth (in expenses) curve. And it's a good deal for the employees, too, because they came out ahead with the board contributions.

It is like our house and car maintenance. You can skip it for a while, but eventually you've got to pay.

We need a community engagement process to see if this is something residents are interested in.

We're using the smoke to practice search techniques in a smoky environment to be able to find victims. It's a lot smokier than a regular fire. It can be as smoky, but we'd ventilate to get the smoke out.

We do quite a bit of training, about 30 to 40 hours a month. It's nice to be able to have something realistic like this home for training.

They prefer training that's realistic. Any time we can make it more realistic, they like it.

All these guys are really good at what they do, but they can always improve. And, this is an opportunity to fine tune their skills so they're at their peak performance.
