To Be honest, I don't. In 7 years, we have 200 hours on the in-city

said, if the city comes to us in dire straits knowing downtown studios
can't be operated for any reason such as evacuation, getting fuel will
be rather simple....

Now mountain tops are a different story. We have diesel to run at least 3 weeks although we never have ran more than a day.
