The Meredith fire dept is an on-call, volunteer fire dept.

What happened was Other Peoples Money. It's always easier to spend OPM vs your own. So what can you expect when the majority of your revenue comes from "rich land barons" (the "rich" are to be soaked in todays America) and most of them are from out of state (they are to be hung out to dry). Why not spend their $$s, who cares about being fair to "them" ? You are just collateral damage.
