It does seem a bit messed up. I’m in a small rural volunteer fire department. We recently had an opportunity to apply for a grant and were brainstorming useful additions - we considered getting some jaws of life as we’re quite remote and we figured it would be good to be able to get someone out of a car. The base model, including tax and mandatory training, is CAD56K! Someone is making serious money there.

I mean this thing is in ontario, not sure where you are but maybe an extra engine for you guys?
It’s waaaaay too big for us - we are very rural. There’s maybe 70 houses in our whole coverage area. Most of our risk is forest fires.
