Alex,
great job by you and the apparatus committee, to bad the butt wipes in administration (that do not ride our work off these trucks) could not listen to the group (as usual) but once again went with more gadgets to break down and no one will know how to fix.(total knucklehead move) thanks again for you guys hard work and dedication.

Isn't that the truth! Most everything on the 1998 apparatus was asked for and designed by a committee of members in the field, on each type of apparatus. Only a few minor items were mandated by the COD at the time.
It was suggested that the dealer do any and all the repairs which was out of the realm of the auto shop guys. Again, this fell on deaf ears, as you know who actually owns all the vehicles. The FD doesn't have or get a lot to say.
