Word is one of the members does construction work ,when he's slow on work he finds himself a job. He got paid close to 40,000 for this tower. The squad want run calls ,so why waste tax payers money.

It works in London.

They should have put in a Roundabout. You talk about hillbillies being confused JT.

Is this wall sort of like the new bridge being built over hiway 421 on hiway 221?

So it seems you have no clue how dangerous that intersection is or the number of accidents that happen there.

The high school JROTC has one. It’s next to the Walmart parking lot

They could tie a rope up in a tree and repel down or the side of a building. Some other departments must have one so they had to have one. That seems to be the current mentality.

I question why the rescue squad needs to rappell. It’s not like this is the Rocky Mountains

I sure hope tax money wasn't used. They could go train on the rock faces of the parkway.

The APT is reporting that a training tower is being built behind the rescue squad. It likes just a standard rappelling tower. Why couoldnt they use the high school tower?
