Well now, this can be a lot of fun, where can I get one? So if they paid for the truck for the scene, what's it matter, why are they crying about this? If the church of Venice,Ca. offered to rent it for a church shoot, would the city be crying about it? Probably not. So who cares? There has to be more to the story that just this. Was it during hours of fire detail, might of been a truck in detail under use and not out of commission. That was most likely the case here and therefore would consider be illegal. The film commission usually has contacts where listings of who rents fire trucks to the general media and movie companies to produce a film as rental of a prop. This is by far a prop. But so now the fire chief gets a slap on the back of his hand and the city refunds the cash rented for purpose? Nope. They keep the cash and slap the chief with embarrassment! Learn as you go? Sassy: "Keep It Responsible" Sassy. Be Sassy. Keep it responsible! So when some fool tells YOU how to keep your company when those fools telling, can't even afford auto insurance or a dmv license plate current tag , would you take their advice of keeping it Responsible?? Sassy talk.
I say they shouldn't rent the fire truck out. I say whoever in the Porn industry asked, should of went to the film commission like professionals and rented one from a decommissioned rental company instead since the Venice Fire Department seems to be unprofessional and wanted to earn some pretty cash on the side "Is that KEEPING IT RESPONSIBLE"??? BACK IN YOUR FACES HAHAHAHA !
Dumb games they love so much, look at them now, in the news again and again looking like this over and over, what's up guys, need the city to cut back on your work hours, maybe some lay offs, getting bord, have all that time to loan out equipment?.
