I've been assigned to days in the Academy M-F for the past 14 weeks to assist with the new Recruit Class. They hit the streets for their field internship on Sunday, and I started vacation for 2 weeks on Monday. It's gonna be nice to go back to nights, as this was the first time since my academy class in 1996 that I have been on days for an extended time. It's taken it's toll on me, and on Firepics, but I'll get everything back to speed as fast as I can.
I took this on 7/25 outside of BEMS Special Operations. The truck was in for radio work. This is the infamous "Frankentruck" that I referred to earlier in this thread. A 2008 Chassis with a late 2005 or 2006 box, given to us in 2010. The truck spent more time at Fleet Maintenance than in our station due to both mechanical and electrical issues. They have been fixed for the most part, but as the best truck in the fleet at state inspections 3 years in a row, I would hope they give us one of the new Internationals.
