Thanks. I guess in reality, they did give it to me. I showed them how much I spent and the 3,100 hours I put into it. They handed over the title.
We started this project as part of a fire history museum and that is still underway. I want to leave something for the community to remember the efforts of the past & future firefighters who serve the citizens. Anyway, they get to keep it at the firehouse as part of the museum (as long as one exists) and I get to own and protect my investment.
I really never considered the need to keep folks from taking it home for their kid’s birthday parties or to spray water at their friends…but things happen.
