I received a call for assistance today that has me stumped. This particular fire department serves a very small island (roughly 500 pop.) way out in the middle of nowhere. They are the only game in town and their pumper, although not terribly old (12 years), has a problem with the 2 stage pump that limits water flow. And here comes the kicker...I was told that they run less than 10 calls per year (sometimes only 1 call). As far as i can tell, they only go out the door when somebody is screaming that their house is on fire. Other than that, the police check everything else out.
Given the scenario, I'm doubtful that they could get funding from AFG. However, I am curious if anybody else has had any success in even getting past the computer round with such low call volume and population served.
This one has got me stumped and I'm open to any thoughts.
Thanks
