Tino Mayo Unless I am missing something, I dont see that he committed a criminal act. It was a dangerous job and Im sure he did the best he could in the situation. Unfortunately things happen that you cant foresee.

And to be honest, with boats we don't go anywhere near them, especially for a recovery

Tyler Pederson You always keep your truck as clean as possible because it would be embarrassing driving a filthy truck. Every time it comes back from a call it should be cleaned if your a volunteer department. It could sit for a week before it moves you never know. I like clean trucks it shows pride.
