[quote name='Skip Olson BFD L14' post='107183' date='May 12 2007, 20:01 ']I know Ladder 28, which is the same age, went OOS the other day due to overheating & the Shops put 4 Gallons of antifreeze in our radiator on Thursday. Hopefully the rumor about the 5 new trucks for next year winds up being fact. Also I spoke to a Captain downtown who informed me that the city has applied for a grant to ppurchase two new TDA's for Ladders 1 & 24. We will be getting them ONLY if the grant money comes through.[/quote]
First Ladder 25's crash, then Ladder 9 is out of service, then Ladder 28- it's starting to become a trend for those trucks to be out of service a lot...
Regarding the potential TDAs: Ladder 1 and Ladder 24 protect two federal buildings, the Charlestown Navy Yard, and the Coast Guard base...clear that it's in the government's best interest to get the grants, no reason not to allow the grants to go through
