Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous

[MFD76]

Amongst other reasons, some very heavy rigs running multiple non-fire calls a day of some very harsh roads causing long OOS times and hefty repair bills. John can probably provide you with a bit more of an insiders view on things.

 

Those are the same or similar issues we have dealt with here in the State of Kansas & Missouri, Kansas City Metro, and Kansas City, Missouri Fire Department. We have seen a large return to the Truck-Engine concept. Some of the departments that have returned to the traditional Truck-Engine concept still maintain pump/ tank on the Trucks. However the Trucks don't function in a Quint Concept Mode. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe, Rick
