The fire department has a red colored fire alarm truck from Malden, which is a hand me down
The police department had a ford police pick up truck from Somerville, which they then handed over to Dpw, which makes it a double hand me down
The old police animal control car went to Dpw, which is a hand me down.
The police atv went to the mount hood , which makes it a hand me down
The police detective cars go to the Dpw , which makes it a hand me down
Yet the fire dept and dpw now have hybrid cars? For what? Why not hand me downs, like in the past?
Why the fire dept need a hybrid car? The chief already has a city issued car, Why they need another?
Dpw , fire and police need their own new stuff, not hand me downs, and gear that should remain with them not passed along to someone down the food chain.
I guess this brings about the question, if they are ok to be handed down to another department, why couldn't they continue to be used by their original department?
