The 5 Million Dollar Eyesore, Gets a Wife

http://www.phillyburbs.com/my_town/bensalem/new-water-tower-in-bensalem/article_f1ba8661-b7ea-5e1c-b7dd-6420fd753d90.html

I have seen this thing, and up till now thought it was either Joey D's new pool, or Haman trying to hide a spaceship. Now that I know what it really is, I still believe its another eyesore, and will believe its usefulness when I see it. Tell us something your majesty, how is this going to help the fire fighters, when this thing is not connected properly. What about making sure the training center at least has working toilets, and water in it.
In case there are people who don't believe that the training center is inadequate for the fire fighter's training needs, I have seen BOTH training centers, and the differences are very noticeable. Also, consider the evidence by a fire fighter below:
"First, there is no water system or sewer system at the facility. We only have the tank water carried by the apparatus to train with. Second, they failed to include a heat generating system at the facility. There is a smoke generating system. Without the combination of heat and smoke this facility is providing the same training we currently achieve when we place wax paper over the face masks of our breathing apparatus when training. This wax paper simulates a smoke condition. Without the ability to train live hose lines on live fire, we still don't have the minimum training facility that we were lead to believe this would be. Third, we were told we would no longer have to travel to the training center in Doylestown to obtain the required training and certifications. We still have to travel to the training center in Doylestown to attend training programs to receive certification in the various required training levels."

As I have said before..........

PROVE ME WRONG!!
