The Concorde's were plagued with problems from day one. Electrical issues, Engine going into LIMP mode on responses, Truck 15 had the steering gear box break away from the chassis resulting in loss of control ending in an accident, etc. I was at the shop one day and the crew from Truck 21 brought in a list of repairs needed 2 1/2 pages long.

The Baltimore City FD, took delivery yesterday of there new 6 Million Dollar State of the Art Fire Boat. The Boat was built by Hike Metal Products in Ontario Canada, and I'm told it took the crew 7-8 days to sail her down to Baltimore. I believe that these are the Specs for the New Boat. 86' Long, with a top speed of 16 knts. it has a capabilitie of flowing 12.500 gpms through 4 monitor pipes. Here she is the "John R. Frazier"
