Especially when they operate in a city that does no PM. Last Nights catch - ACPD227 - 08-21-2013 Jason I cant believe with no PM that one would be better than the other. Id say if you don't take care of either they both could be bad. I have operated both steel and aluminum from brand P and have not noticed a difference in them on both operation and pm. The only thing I can think of is steel has longer track record but does not mean better. Last Nights catch - drfeelgood - 08-22-2013 Well I can say the 23 year old aluminum aerial that my department owns is holding up well. Other department's in my area have been buying them for over 30 years without issue then again we all maintain them. How can an FD no matter how busy not maintain an aerial? That's just crazy.

We now have language in the CBA at my department specifying that stuff like pump, hose and ladder testing has to be performed annually because it wasn't being performed at all or just sporadically. And you're right, that's just crazy. |
