Inquiring minds want to know, was the engine at fault for the fire fatalities? What was the reason for impunding??
[/quote] Hey, thanks for the interest.
Reserve E81, a 1996 E\-One Protector, the second due engine, was being used as a spare that day by E18, upon arrival, could not switch over to pump. The first due engine was unavailable, already dispatched on an aid run to assist a fallen patient at a nursing home. The third due was delayed in responding somewhat, because of equipment falling off the rig. With all that happened, the City's legal team decided it would be wise to secure the engine.
