They have given it away. To the prison or BC who knows. I think if this stuff was paid by us to have in the city it should stay in the city. They are so pissed that they will not give any extra to the county station in Tehachapi. Even if it will help the city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/countygirl/12890/#c_126409 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/countygirl/12890/#c_126409 I have been told that all the rescue gear bought by <strong><u>us, </u></strong>the city residents, will not be on the city fire truck bought by the county fire department.

This is typical behavior from a bunch of immature people who's plan failed.&nbsp; Wheres the &quot;local control&quot; in keeping the equipment in town?&nbsp; Fact is by choosing KCFD you will get the equipment and people who actually have experience using it, So just let the city waist yet more of your money.&nbsp; But with KCFD in charge at least you will get a real fire department. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/countygirl/12890/#c_126488 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/countygirl/12890/#c_126488 This is typical behavior from a bunch of immature people who's plan failed.&nbsp; Wheres the &quot;local control&quot; in keeping the equipment in town?&nbsp; Fact is by choosing KCFD you will get the equipment and people who actually have experience using it, So just let the city waist yet more of your money.&nbsp; But with KCFD in charge at least you will get a real fire department. <strong><font color="#333399">If it was bought for Tehachapi, it should stay in Tehachapi! I was told it was a "Jaws-of-Life" and other 'Big" rescue tools. That stuff is worth 10's of thousands of dollars. It should have been left for use in town, if not by the county firefighters, it could have been given to Search and Rescue or CERT!</font></strong> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/countygirl/12890/#c_126654 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/countygirl/12890/#c_126654 <strong><font color="#333399">If it was bought for Tehachapi, it should stay in Tehachapi!
