From the transcript

I used to be a member of the fire department, EMT, and I see how hard these guys work. And I, you know, there should be no question up here that, yeah, we support that. And we talk about supporting the fire department, but supporting the fire department means spending some money to make sure they have the basics on what they need. And I'm all for moving them to that pole yard. I'd like to see them get out there to Scow Bay so they can be operational and then, you know, get that stuff done at Fire Station 1.
