Case Studies
You arrive at work and the captain of the off-going shift passes on to you that the grill broke and did not appear to be repairable. After he leaves, you and the crew look it over and come to the same conclusion. You contact your battalion chief to request a new grill. A few minutes later the battalion chief calls back and says the department has approved the purchase, but that you can't spend more than $400. Fire Fighter Jones becomes excited about the prospect of having a new grill to cook supper. You tell him to cool his heels because there is little chance of having it by supper.
