Also, describing it as a "volunteer dept. in an area with a population of almost 60,000 and them being too cheap to PAY for a full time fire dept." is misleading. Vast majority of this 60,000 population (urban and most or suburban part of the township), is covered by career departments (West Lafayette and Purdue). Wabash Twp. FD covers the rural and suburban areas of the township that aren't part of the city.
