I found this article to be pretty interesting, since I definitely have opinions about the subject. There is a new fire station 2 being built in my town as I write this. I will be occupying it about September or October, if all goes to plan. Of course they didn’t ask me to much about what I wanted the station to be like and I knew from the outset that there would be no second story therefore no poles in the station. I worked on the fire department in Memphis for 7 years before coming to this Texas town and I worked at many stations with Poles and I really miss them along with ladder trucks that have a tillerman in the back for driving the rear wheels. I did that while in Memphis, among other jobs that I had on the FD. I worked at one station in my Battalion District that had poles and a Dalmation. Imagine that. Too bad that now, poles seem to be going away as well.
